This is very dangerous. Any reversible encryption runs a
serious risk
of being exploited. If you are going to do something like
this, then
use a product like PerlApp that will encrypt the source of
your script,
don't try to roll your own. Even if you do this, be aware
of the caveat
that if someone has the ability to read the contents of the
system's
memory, they can obtain the source that way.
Your best bet is to either use the cgi-bin trick mentioned
earlier or
set up some way to send a signal to another process (maybe
even on
another system?) that will disconnect the sessions for you.

Can I mimic a different user from within a
perl script? Then I could compile it and be somewhat safe
with the admin
user encrypted within the script...
