I guess I don't really understand why you wouldn't want them
to know what the source code looks like. I mean, they're
the users. If you don't want them doing things that are
in your opinion "bad", you chose the wrong language. Remember
that perl is all about providing options and serving others.
When we start writing code that gives users fewer options,
that doesn't serve them any, and "what good is it then?"
By the way, I don't think you could write a program that
flawlessly obfuscates any piece of perl code using variable
substitution because that could caus major soft referencing
problems. Solving that problem is (probably) reducable to
Turing's Halting problem, which is best left alone.

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).
