I thought that somebody has already said here that you cannot hide your 
perl code. if you have an access to the perl interpreter you can dump 
the source code after it was decrypted.

wouldn't it be a good idea to add the truth to the POD so not to mislead 
the crowd? I've read through the doc but didn't see a word mentioning 
this "little" caveat.

Shouldn't the module be renamed to BZS::Obscure::...? ;)
