No, trying to hide your code is bad (since it can almost always be
recovered).  Creating a PAR executable is very useful.  Not everyone
has, or wants to install, Perl.  Being able to provide a single file
(which contains the perl interpreter, your script, and all of the
dependent modules) to those users is wonderful.
