[Israel.pm] attaching a big data section/file to a script

[Yossi Itzkovich]

Hi,

I have a script that needs a 400k (55k zipped) text file to come with it. The script reads this file in one of his modules.
How can I "attach" the text file to the script ? 

Another question: Can I encrypt it in some way, so only the script can "read/understand" it ?

BTW: I intend to make the script an executable, if it matters to the answers.

Thanks for your help

Yossi
