START RANT
So I know this isn't an answer to the original question, but to those who wonder what the poster's motives are, what's it to you? Just be a good monk and answer the question if you know a solution. Productivity is a lot more useful than philosophical debates.

Kinda reminds me of the RTFM types who have enough time to write a long disparaging message to the asker but not enough precious time to say "type X and hit Enter."
END RANT

As for an answer, I agree with those who say "screw up the code." Perhaps one could write a little script to fudge up a perl program file...s/meaningful_var_name/xcE45Fkj/, rm_newlines(), et cetera.

• Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
• 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.
