Questions on PAR

[chatiman]

Hello,

I'm interested in using PAR for my CGI scripts.
Here 's a few question about it :
- Does PAR compile perl source scripts into perl bytecode or does it just
ompress the source code ?
- How do you use Filters to archieve source code obfuscation ?
- How difficult is it to "decompile" code obfuscated with PAR ?

Thanks

source code obfuscation has I saw it mentioned on :
http://search.cpan.org/~autrijus/PAR-0.79/lib/PAR/Tutorial.pod#Code_Obfuscat
ion

but this is not (well) documented or I can't understand what it is said with
my poor english skills

But the question remains, why for your CGI scripts? Are they located on an
insecure server? Web surfers shouldn't have read access to your source code
unless you've misconfigured your server, so you shouldn't need to compile
them into executables.
