A hacker can replace needed bits in a file, then add other bits so that the overall file checksum stays valid. Doing that gets quantum if you have to hack the subroutines and file checksums.
As for RecDescent, if I could get at the text of a sub I could parse the sub and checksum it myself. The trick is to get at the text of the subroutine. That is where the question lies. Parse::RecDescent needs something like "$text", where $text is the text of the subroutine. You cannot hand it just a coderef. :-)

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).
