Hi Pat,
* You could use Acme::Bleach (or it's more tantalizing variation that
I solicited from Damian, Acme::Morse) to disguise the source code,
while still allowing it to be executed
* You could use Filter::Simple (or one of its relatives) to have Perl
"automatically" convert encrypted source code into plain text for
compilation. Although a sophisticated user could use Perl's back-end
facilities to dumpy out the readable source, a casual user won't
know how to do that
