I have a special bit of perl code that I created and modified over the years.  I know it's against the traditions of the whole open source community, but I would like this particular bit of code to be closed.  
&lt;p&gt;
Is there a way I can compile perl into an executable image much like the way we do with C++ or other languages?  Or at least is there a way that I can hide the code from the end-user's eye?
