How to open and edit encrypted perl script?


I have a perl script that is encrypted. This script can be compiled only if Filter::decrypt is installed. I have that Filter and I installed it and the script is compiled with no problem, but now I want to open that script with some text editor and edit it.

Can someone help me and tell me how can I do this?


Solution

  • Best option: Just edit your unencrypted copy and reinstall it.

    Alternative: Use decr (comes with Filter::decrypt) to decrypt an encrypted file.
