You're wasting your time. There's really no effective way to obfuscate
Perl code; if you think there is, you're simply unaware of the Perl
debugger and O::Deparse/B::Deparse. Take a look at perldoc -q "hide the
source"' and <http://www.perlmonks.org/index.pl?node_id=243011> for why
trying this is futile.

If you want to hide your source, use C or another compiled language (and
even with that, note that decompilers today have become pretty slick.)
