in reply to Can you prevent MO=Deparse

Every once in a while, someone on p5p finds a construct that gets Deparse'd wrong.

It's always possible that there's some language construct out there that would make Deparse croak. I'd be surprised, but if you search the perl5-porters archives or here on pm, maybe someone's already found one.

In any case, though, this won't get you real security, as everyone else is pointing out...

    Of course, any Deparse bug that causes crashes will eventually be fixed, so hiding your code behind a Deparse bug is surely rather Pythonish. ("How Not To Be Deparsed," anyone?)
