Short answer: No. There are programs like PerlApp that will package the interpreter
with your code and make it into an executable file, but anyone who is determined
enough can still get your source from the computer's memory. Your best bet is the old
"security by obscurity" approach of either making your source look like gibberish or
"invisible" via one of the ACME or shroud modules. If you look through the
ActiveState PDK mailing list archives there are volumes on the subject.

Subject: binary perl
Is it possible to make a perl script/program a binary file? I have a few
scripts some one wants but I don't want them to have the source.
