Stop people amending scripts

[scaifea]

Is there a simple security function I can build into a PErl script to stop people amending them?

Build an executable? google for [perl2exe PAR pp], but why?

I would just like to protect the odd script or two from being amended

On unix, you could always put them in another directory, with an execute-only permission. Then link to them from /usr/bin or wherever. Then they can execute them, but not read or write them.
