avo, I will help you by explaining the following:

it must be scrambled or obfuscated properly

There is no such thing as "proper obfuscation". It's not irreversible (and, actually, it's easier than you might think) and it will only waste your time and bring you problems you weren't expecting.

I went looking on the net for proper perl obfuscation software but I couldn't find any that works.

Once again, that's because there is no such thing as "proper obfuscation".

You have to realize that obfuscation is a nice way to waste^W invest your time, it's fun and educative, and a lot of other cool stuff, but it is NOT, I repeat, IS IS *NOT* code safety.

DO NOT OBFUSCATE YOUR CODE TO PROTECT IT! IT WON'T WORK!
