in thread Code hiding in Perl

See overload::eval. It replaces the ENTEREVAL opcode with its own. eval_pv parses the code and then executes the ENTEREVAL opcode before running the code within the eval.

Also, if the program string exists as one large buffer in RAM, its easy to freeze the program as soon as it opens a file (for example) and then dump the memory.
