"When you use the pp module in perl to create an exe from a script the actual script itself is compiled and cannot be viewed in a general text editor."

Perhaps not an issue since you're running this via a Citrix interface but maybe you should take a look at the pp documentation again. At runtime the compressed executable extracts everything to a temporaty directory, where it can be viewed by whatever editor you like, this allows faster start up next time. Alternativly one could simply decompress to executable to obtain the goodies stored within. While source hiding techniques are available each have a work around. The faq over at http://par.perl.org is also worth reading.
