# PAR::Filter::Obfuscate(3pm)

Obfuscating filter

## NAME

PAR::Filter::Obfuscate - Obfuscating filter

## SYNOPSIS

```
    PAR::Filter::Obfuscate->apply(\$code); # transforms $code
```

## DESCRIPTION

This filter uses B::Deobfuscate (available separately from CPAN) to turn the script into comment-free, architecture-independent Perl code with mangled variable names.

## CAVEATS

A harmless message will be displayed during `"pp"`:

```
    /tmp/8ycSoLaSI1 syntax OK
```

Please just ignore it. :-)

## SEE ALSO
