. . . since during execution the program is reverted to its original form (comments and all) and then evaluated.

So? Commercial Perl obfus can be undone by B::Deparse. You don't get comments back, but it will at least format the code for you.

    I don't intend to flame, but that means that even B::Deparse is a better obfuscator than the Acme modules you mentioned. At least it drops some info which would help to understand the code structure, while Acme::Bleach and Acme::Buckaroo change the code in a totally reversible manner and provide their own inverse transformation.
