"Packagers" is an excellent choice of words. Perl code is not compiled 
or obfuscated by these tools, it's simply stored in an .exe to simplify 
packaging and distribution. That will certainly help prevent casual 
snooping, but it provides no protection at all from a knowledgeable geek 
who *really* wants to see the code.
