Hi, The programs made by IndigoStar or ActiveState don't compile the perl program into executables, but they create a .exe file that contains the perl program and the perl interpreter. This kind of programs usually unpack the files it contains into a temp folder and run the perl program from there using the perl interpreter that was also unpacked.
Well, the source is not hidden at all. PAR from CPAN can be used to hide the code, and it works fine for simple perl programs, but not for complex ones (or at least I wasn't able to make it work for that).
