A prof I had back in college does a bit of contract work on the side. She learned a trick early on that she employs in every job she does -- self-destruct code.

Be very careful (read: have a good lawyer) with this one. In states that have passed the dread UCITA (the Uniform Computer Information Transactions Act), self-destruct code is legal. Your mileage in other states may vary, but could include costly litigation.

If you're not aware of what UCITA is, or how badly it sucks for consumers, see http://www.badsoftware.com/uccindex.htm

Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
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).
Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
