in reply to Perl to executable without releasing source code?

There is one way to keep your source code hidden: don't give it out.

You can still have people send you input and give them back the results of your script, and keep the script itself secret by running it yourself on your own CPU. The internet is a decent transmission medium for that. Make an interface for people with HTML and CGI, keep the resulting webserver in your possession, pay the ISP bills, and you're good to go.
