There is an experimental perl compiler. It's not recommended for
production use but is a cool toy.

thanks,

perldoc -q 'hide the source'

For bundling, yes. For hiding source, not really.

Short answer: No. There are programs like PerlApp that will package the interpreter
with your code and make it into an executable file, but anyone who is determined
enough can still get your source from the computer's memory. Your best bet is the old
security by obscurity approach of either
