Ok Bill, I'm in agreement with you. It's right. I use
open source language and I must share my work. This
isn't a problem for me. But I would only know if it's
possible to hide source code. That's all.

Thanks

Just make it so crappy that no one will want to steal it.

This is a pretty well discussed subject that still comes up at least a 
few times a year. The short answer to this is that you should use a 
language that you can compile, like a variation of "C".


Perl is really not built for securely hiding source code. I think I've 
heard that there are some tools that may attempt to do this, but I have 
not heard of any that are a 100% solution.


Usually, in response to this question someone will ask, "Why do you 
want to hide your code?" Then you'll get the "You probably haven't 
created anything that hasn't been done already, or can't be done by a 
competent perl programmer, so it's really not worth the trouble."


And you'll also get the, "You're using a free, opensource language that 
many have donated their time and talent to create and now you want to 
hide the code you've created with it? If it's that great, donate it 
back to the community you've benefitted from."


Personally, I'm thrilled I don't have to compile, or encrypt, or use 
any other method of hiding my code. It would just add one more layer of 
complexity.


Finally, I think I heard that future versions of Perl may provide a way 
to do this, but hopefully someone familiar with the project can 
elaborate on this.

Which source code (Perl, HTML?)? From whom (other users of the server,
visitors to the website?)?
