Active State's PerlApp will genrerate a Windows executable from a perl script by bundling it with the perl executable. It does hide your code and if you decompile the app the raw perl code is not immediately visible. Some of us did post a node or two about how to crack scripts out of this (pretty easy) so don't think it is particularly secure because it is not. It will stop the casual but not the determined. I would advise a solid contract along with the usual back doors and other *security features* you might add to ensure you can screw your client if they try to screw you ;-)
