PAR::Filter::Obfuscate - Obfuscating filter

=head1 SYNOPSIS

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

=head1 DESCRIPTION

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

=head1 CAVEATS

A harmless message will be displayed during C<pp>:

    /tmp/8ycSoLaSI1 syntax OK

Please just ignore it. :-)
