Re: [mapserver-users] Edit database attribute

[Puneet Kishor <pkishor@GeoAnalytics.com>]

I didn't respond further because Erwin wanted "other" suggestions ;-)

but, now I will chip in some... there are other compiler options besides 
perl2exe, though that might be sufficient. I like indigostar... they 
gave me a headache-free mod_perl, Apache, install for my Windoze box.

that said, I am confused about protecting the source code... the source 
code runs on the server, so no one has access to it anyway. I mean, you 
can't just give away server scripts to folks without expecting them to 
have the server pieces (web server, scripting engine, db drivers, et al) 
in place.

I think Erwin is specifically interested in some, packageable binary 
that he can give away to others, and not in a client/server solution. 
Right Erwin?
