On my regular morning stroll through the job boards, I came across the following tidbit:
"$Company requires protection from unauthorized
source code access and illegal duplication of
its intellectual property that exists in the
form of perl source code. The goal of this
assignment is to provide a licensing mechanism
that can decrypt securely, installed $Company
perl software on a customer’s machine without
the client’s ability to glean the source.
Furthermore the same mechanism needs to update
appropriate fields in some of the installed
modules with information embedded in the license
before being passed onto the interpreter.
OK. I give up. Is this even possible?

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.
