Hi, Looking through the archives a bit, it seems that there has been some interest in filtering source files being added to PAR archives so as to encrypt or otherwise obfuscate the code.
I realise that there are a lot of strongly held views about the various rights and wrongs of doing (or even trying to do ;) this, and I don't want to re-open that whole can of worms. However, for the benefit of those who are interested I thought that I would draw to your attention the fact that the Filter-Crypto distribution that I have recently put up on CPAN for doing source code encryption contains a PAR::Filter sub-class (PAR::Filter::Crypto) to achieve exactly this. The only prerequisite besides PAR, is an OpenSSL libcrypto library. (The module uses any one of the symmetric cipher algorithms contained therein to perform the encryption/decryption.)
