in reply to Encrypt web files!

Once the page on the client-side the browser, it's not Perl's problem. It's HTML and JavaScript problem.

You can use JavaScript to disable right click, which's breakable, however. In IE, I think it is: 

function click(){
   if (event.button==2){
      alert("Oops, you can't do that.");
      return false;
   }
}

The code is different in Netscape.

You could also hide your HTML in a JavaScript file, so when view source people will see the links to the javascript files, not the content.

    In the first solution, a knowledgeable user can turn off javascript to get around the "fix".

    For the second solution, it just adds another layer of indirection. That extra JavaScript page must be publically viewable, and anyone smart enough to look at the source should be smart enough to copy-and-paste the link.
