As others have said, you cannot prevent a Perl script from being disclosed to the sysadmins ... nor to anyone else who has read-access to the directory in which the script has been stored.
You can, however, use ordinary directory-access rules on the server to ensure that no web user ever has the ability to “purloin” any source-code from the machine.
Incidentally... you do need to pay close attention to the directory permissions that you establish on your stuff if you've deployed to a shared hosting environment! You’d be rather amazed (and shocked) by what is available to even a casually-curious fellow subscriber to whatever web-hosting service you happen to be using . . . :-O

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).

or How to display code and escape characters
are good places to start.
