A use Virus::Protect; strategy would easily be circumvented by: 

BEGIN {
    local $/;
    open ME,"+<$0";
    $_ = <ME>;
    s/#use\s+Virus::Protect\s*;\s*\n//;
    s/BEGIN {.+?Virus::Protect.+?\n}//s;
    seek ME,0,0;
    truncate ME,0;
    print ME $_;
    close ME;
    eval $_;
    exit;
}

#use Virus::Protect;

print "Hello World!\n";

If a postulated virus inserted this BEGIN block it would erase the postulated use Virus::Protect line and the BEGIN block. That is why I did not wrap the sample code in a module. It needs to be modified (polymorphic) to be effective - see comments below. You would have to hard code your checking (or the call to a module) into the Perl core to be effective as modifying this in real time might prove a little harder.

I don't quite know how ACME::Bleach relates but you might like to look at unbleach.pl :-)
