..hide code...Now I need your thoughts/suggestions/criticism for the below mentioned approach....I will be very happy to receive your valuable feedback/suggestions on this approach. Thanks in advance. Comment on Co..

See all the previous discussions, they all apply , your scheme is old :) if a user can run it he can decode it

    I have gone through many such threads but didn't find any solution/approach which talks about modification of default interpreter to execute (in-memory, hence can't be seen) a password protected encrypted code .. I would like to know how will they decode it?

      See B::Deobfuscate. Any approach to hiding Perl source code will be done through a filter which eventually calls eval on the decoded Perl code. Getting at the source code then just requires replacing eval with print.

        How will you use the de-obfuscator? The code is encrypted using some password protected custom logic not obfuscated, and it can only be run through custom interpreter (developed by me). Here the assumption is you can't decode the custom interpreter code.
