Hi.
It possible to encrypt perl sources with same safety as with PHP -
with possibility of source decryption. But Perl developers are in
general more advanced than PHP developers so they know how to decrypt
it, in contrast to PHP developers that do not know that encrypted PHP
sources can easily be decrypted. There are also some bytecode
compilers for Perl (alpha stage).

PHP, C#, Java are much more prefered, because the programs created with them
can hide the source code much better, while this is not possible with Perl.
This is a big reason why the software companies that create custom programs
for their clients prefer to use those languages and not perl. Not because
perl is bad.
Not to keep the PHP thing going, but I would tend to de-classify about
30% of the people who call themselves "PHP developers." There is a VERY
high propensity among many in this community to go out and "borrow code"
and "retrofit it." I'm not saying Perl developers don't do this, but I
don't believe there are very many heavily invested in the Perl community
who have this bent -- many are devoted to the craft of true, honest to
goodness OO development.
I also left out a very important and I would say very well known Perl
*powerhouse* in corporate America:
WhitePages.com
Some of the best of the best work there. You can't even get a sniff
from them (eg. interview) without being in the upper crust of Perl
development. No Perl "wanna-bes" allowed there. All very solid OO
development only.
