can it be helpful for completion my purpose. U people please suggest.

If my program name is rundbload.pl

perl -MO=Bytecode,-H,-b,-k,orundbload rundbload.pl
snip

If I remember correctly, Bytecode has been depreciated and is not
gauranteed to work. Note the message "THIS CODE IS HIGHLY
EXPERIMENTAL. USE AT YOUR OWN RISK." in the Notice section. You are
better off with PAR and PAR::Packer. They work, work well, and will
get you as much code security as any other method. Trying to hide
Perl code is ultimately futile because at some point the code will be
in some form that perl can read and at that point it can be dumped.
