If you use a unix-like system and have some kind of priviledged access, you could try: create a new user, say "perlmaster"
chown perlmaster script.pl chmod 700 script.pl # only "perlmaster" can run it (echo "#!/bin/sh"; echo "/path/to/script.pl") > run_the_script.sh chown perlmaster run_the_script.sh chmod 4777 run_the_script.sh making run_the_script.sh setuid "perlmaster", so it can run script.pl, but no other users can access it. Of course, script.pl then runs as "perlmaster" which may not be what you want. There are ways around this that are much much uglier. Personal recommendation is to free the source.
