at that point, i realized two things:
a- encrypting/obfuscating perl code just doesn't work when you
need to decrypt it. it also doesn't work when there are
decompilers and stuff out there. the best you can do is make
something marginally difficult.
b- given the ease in decrypting the code, and the code itself, it
became pretty obvious that they weren't trying to protect the code,
as much as they were making it unreadable as it was some of the
worst stuff i've ever seen.
Great story!
