Hello I would like to place a script on cpan. It is called 'shroud' and serves to shroud, or obfuscate, the source code of a perl script. It is to used to 'protect' the intellectual property contained in the source code of commercial perl scripts. I think it will prove useful to other commercial perl developers. The software is described on our web site at: http://www.craic.com/resources/tech_notes/tech_note_2.html Perhaps the most appropriate category for the script that I can see in the scripts branch of cpan is Unix/System_administration but it really should be in a 'programming utilities' branch. My name is Robert Jones [EMAIL PROTECTED] A suitable userID for CPAN might be 'CRAIC' Our homepage is http://www.craic.com I hope that you will find this script a suitable addition to your wonderful resource. Best regards --Rob Jones
