Using Perl?  Perl aside, executables are generally not 
compressible...or, to be precise, not compressible by much.  While you 
might save a couple of percents, it probably won't give you much savings. 

Give gzip, bzip2, etc. a try (or their equivalent on Windows/Mac) and if 
they work, see if there is a Perl library that does it.  There is one 
for gzip, but I have a feeling that gzip will make the file 
larger...just a guess.  Better to try it on the command-line before you 
use time to make it work in Perl.

Ray
