That's not true. Not publishing a URL can be quite secure.
If the OP doesn't ever publish it somewhere and nests the directory tree 3 or more directories deep with charactor-random directory names no one and no bot will ever find it. Ie: somesite.com/234sfsd/zzasdf21/ooiissa221/22234AZa/pwa2r.pl That obscurity it absolutely security. The OP could go one or two steps further by not having the script run unless a certain param is passed to ie, ie: pwa2r.pl?mode=a23da. Now there is a level of authentication with an obscure URL. The other step is doing an IP-based security if they have a static IP address. Any one of those tiers of security is not completely secure by itself but if two or more of them are used you have yourself a very secure script without the need of authentication.
