Encrypt a Perl Code

anshumangoyal has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

I have 10 set of .pl and .pm files which I want to encrypt. I want to encrypt it in such a way that user need not to de-crypt the files in order to run it. He has to decrypt the code only in case he want to see the contents of these files. Is there any way to do it?

I want to encrypt it in such a way that user need not to de-crypt the files in order to run it. It's the same as if I wanted to encrypt my answer in such a way that you don't have to decrypt it in order to read.	[reply]
