in thread Protecting perl source code

For standalone scripts, Acme::Bleach comes darned close to keeping out all but a darn good perl wizard. It'll take someone almost as good as Damian, I think, to reverse engineer a Bleached file, even with Bleach.pm to use to see how it was done. Unfortunately, I'm working in mod_perl, so these are not standalone scripts.

    That module already contains the debleaching ingredients and it wouldn't take a wizard to write a bleached debleaching script. 

    use Acme::Bleach;
$/ = undef;
$_ = <>;
s/.*^\s*use\s+Acme::Bleach\s*;\n//sm;
print Acme::Bleach::brighten($_);
