I recall reading a crypto research paper that covered methods for
obfuscating code that I believe contained a proof that you can't
actually encrypt code that you intend for people to be able to
run.

Ultimately, you have to give them the keys to unlock it or they
can't actually run it.  Sorta the same problem they had with DVD
encryption.

I can get you the name of the paper and the author's names if you
want them.  But I suspect your quest to encrypt perl will fail
for multiple reasons.
