This is getting to be an old chestnut, I wonder if we should
specifically forbid discussion of it in the email-etiquette doc.?
The best way to do what you want is to code it in C, compile it and
send out only the compiled executables, a bit like that firm up in the
North-West USA. There are -ahem- Open Source packages to translate
Perl into C and/or bytecode, but then I suppose you wouldn't get much
help from this List with C programs...
It does seem a bit rich to take all the free stuff you can from CPAN
and then try to deny everyone else the fruits of your own labours.
But I suppose it's a free world, at least in parts.

Ged.
