in thread Here is a commercial obfuscator

Uhm well they want 1879$ for that tool. Really funny I guess you won't need more than some hours to write something much more obfuscating.
Just rename all vars back to something more readable like $var_1 etc, and it's pretty readable I think.
Of course it makes it a bit more hard to study the code but it's definitly not even worth 100$.

    I guess that depends on whether you put a dollar value on the time it takes to write that - I suppose the 1K-2K price might be reasonable if the perl programmer is somehow braindead and it'd take a long time to write (more than a few hours) or if the programmer has a high value at which point either something obvious and simple will arise or its just worth the money to buy a license.

    Just keep in mind through all this that there are other considerations outside of mere price tag.
