Low rent perl text file obfuscation/encryption?

[Brett_Tabke]

Looking for some perl, that can take a text file and pseudo "encrypt" it. Not really after encryption (way too processor intensive), but I want something that will semi-hide text files from wandering eyes:

a) not a module. (or atleast a "hackable" module back down to pure perl)
b) mostly obfuscation. Less than pgp, but more than rot13.
c) speed.
d) no embedded c.

well, you could always use Text::Bastardize ( [search.cpan.org] ) I doubt that's what you're looking for, unless you subclass it and add something useful to it.

Alternatively, you could uuencode it or something ( [search.cpan.org] )

Or compress it with [search.cpan.org]

You might as well actually use some kind of encryption, though, if you go to that level. You can do some kinds really fast. see [search.cpan.org] for some examples.

Hope it helps
