I think I'm going to go unsubscribe now and come back in a few days when

(Phil, it may seem like a perfectly reasonable and normal thing to want,
but for a lot of folks here it goes against everything that is Perl to
hide the source code for a Perl script.  This is a *very* frequently
discussed/flamed topic in comp.lang.perl.misc; you can probably see more
opinions than you'd ever care to by doing a Deja search.)
