Jeremy, You reminded me of something I once ran into. When setting up the backend for a website a couple of years ago one of the things the owners had me do was install something in Perl but not under GPL. All the variable names were written in an ascii binary code, e.g. instead of saying my ($name, $value) = split /=/,$namevalue; the code would say my ($110100010101101110100111, $111010011111010001010110) = split /=/,$011111010011101001010110; It was pretty obnoxious and did the trick. I wouldn't want to try and hack at that thing w/o first writing something to map all those identifiers into something legible. I mean it just added that extra layer... you could certainly do it but you'd have to really want to. Wish I could remember the name of the product.
