Well, that didn't take too long. Again, I'm worried about giving too
much away because of DMCA concerns, but I wouldn't rate perl2exe too
highly as a source hiding mechanism. Or at all, in fact.
Gah. In fact, now I've seen how it's done, I'm kicking myself for not
getting it sooner.
Mark, you confused me by compiling
print "hello world";
when I subconsciously expected
print "hello, world\n";
Am I right? And your source file begins
#!perl
use strict;
use CGI::Carp('fatalsToBrowser');
use DB_File;
use Fcntl;
use HTML::TokeParser;
use Storable qw(freeze thaw);
use MLDBM;

to compensate for our own incompetence.
