Did you know that it is possible to embed a Perl interpreter in a C program?
This would allow you write a compiled C/C++ based Mac application, which
made calls to the embedded Perl interpreter to interpret your Perl scripts,
which you could even encrypt, or store in custom resources, etc. Your app
would be as pirate-proof as any shrink wrap app out there (which is to say,
not very, even with registration codes, etc. unless you want to use
dongles).
