mcai7et2 has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:
A client of mine wants to be able to distribute Perl in a non readable manner. Is there a way of encrypting or encoding Perl code so it cannot be understood? The ideal situation would be to compile it to bytecode befre distribution, ala Java but is this possible and does it work in a cross platform, cross version (ie, compiled on 5.005, run on 5.6) manner?
If this is not an option are there any third party tools that would help?
