Re^5: How to hide the Contents in script

As I said before, protection is legal stuff, so follow the legal rules and don't rely on "hiding" your code for a poor substitute of that protection.

If your code is that special it merits a patent (which would be great, but exceedingly rare), then by all means, get a patent before you release it.

Perl code cannot be reliably hidden, so anyone with a modicum of interest to read your code, will be able to read it and steal your patented code, implement your faster algorithm and tamper with your email ID.

A program should be light and agile, its subroutines connected like a string of pearls. The spirit and intent of the program should be retained throughout. There should be neither too little or too much, neither needless loops nor useless variables, neither lack of structure nor overwhelming rigidity." - The Tao of Programming, 4.1 - Geoffrey James
