Compiling Perl / Python? - is there a way to compile perl/python?

freedomjazzdance
so im pretty new to programming in general, but these two languages i am even newer to.

I'm trying to find out if there is a way to compile a perl/python program so that it is encrypted, and the source could not be read.

or are these languages just scripts?

Thanks.

For Perl :

Protect your valuable Perl source code from the prying eyes of the casual user! pENC's innovative encryption system allows certain types+ of perl script to be not only encrypted once. but multiple times!

You can find it at: http://www.scriptsfinder.com/detailed/4.html

Also you can read more about perl source encryption here: http://www.webmasterworld.com/forum13/3109.htm

For Python
No clue

Cheers!

Perl programs can't be hidden that well to my knowledge. If you need really protected code, use C or C++ which must be compiled. Perl is a good beginner's lanuage, and is great because of CGI support. I do not know of a way to encrypt perl though. One way could be to make the directories of a program be executable only.

Python can produce *.pyc file for every *.py file. It is a bytecode so it's pretty unreadable althou it's done to load faster.
There are also *.pyo files, but they can cause trouble.

Other thing is to produce *.exe executable from *.py. It can be done for Windows but not for Linux AFAIK.

Hope that helps
