Depends on how easy it is to "hack" an VB executable vs. a compiled C program, since the latter it the output of perlcc.

A better question might be: what are you trying to do:
1. security - like a SOX requirement e.g., providing a total black box to users.
2. intellectual property protection

intellectual property protection actually. My question is very simple.If i make an exe out of my perl script will anyone can get the source code out of it.If it is possible how easy it is when compared to getting the source code out of an exe created from a C program or VB script exe.

It's the same, in the end all three are compiled into assembler code.
