Well, yes and no. The only stuff that's written to the disk is the DLLs of perl and the modules. (At least in the case of PerlApp, I do believe Perl2exe works the same.) The Perl sources of the modules and your script are not unpacked to disk, they stay just in the memory. > Well, the source is not hidden at all. It is. But it's not and cannot be perfect. So if someone is determined and skilled enough he can get at the sources.
