Also, on a side question: how does PAR::Filter::Crypto allow the code to run but prevent someone from accessing the code? It seems a bit impossible on the surface. I tested it and the code seems to run just fine. There seems to be an initial execution slowdown (no doubt because of the decryption I assume), but the code itself runs quite well. Is PAR::Filter::Crypto even worth using or does it actually help with the goal of preventing access to the code? This side question is mostly out of curiosity. If anyone has experience using it, I'd love to hear their thoughts on it.
