Actually, Perl5 can be compiled to bytecode (like java). It is still
interpreted, but the code is no longer readable by humans.
perldoc -q byte.?code
for more details
Not very efficient, but should help. You can also convert it to C, and
then compile. Check with CPAN.

No. It doesn't work. In order to execute a program, you've (or the
shell has) got to be able to read the source (or bytecode) of the program.
You could actually try this with a simple hello world script. Change
perms to 711 then su to another user and try executing it. Don't work.
