Abhi,

There are a number of ways to do what you ask. And none of them will do
what you want.  

http://search.cpan.org/~jjore/B-Deobfuscate-0.20/lib/B/Deobfuscate.pod
is just one of several tools your end users will be able to use to see
your source code.  If you have proprietary secrets, don't put them into
code you distribute to end users.
