NAME

6       PAR::Filter::Bytecode - Bytecode filter
7

SYNOPSIS

9           PAR::Filter::Bytecode->apply(\$code); # transforms $code
10

DESCRIPTION

12       This filter is deprecated. The B::Bytecode code has been removed from
13       the newest development series of perl and will not be included in perl
14       5.10 any more. Please have a look at Steve Hay's PAR::Filter::Crypto
15       module if you want to hide your sources.
16
17       This filter uses B::Bytecode to turn the script into comment-free,
18       architecture-specific Perl bytecode, and uses ByteLoader to load back
19       on execution.
20
21       For pp users, please add an extra -M option, like this:
22
23           pp -f Bytecode -M ByteLoader
24
25       Otherwise, the implicit dependency on ByteLoader will not be detected.
26

CAVEATS

28       This backend exhibits all bugs listed in B::Bytecode, and then some.
29
30       Bytecode support is considered to be extremely fragile on Perl versions
31       earlier than 5.8.1, and is still far from robust (as of this writing).
32
33       Bytecode is not supported by perl 5.9 and later.
