Storing passwords encrypted, decrypting before using doesn't cover this?
I've played around with Crypt::CBC (and different ciphers) for this sort
of thing but admittedly have not applied this to any production systems
yet.  You still have a key somewhere to hide/obscure.  You can also use
Perl source filters to totally encrypt the source -- something else I've
done but not in production.  Just some things you may want to look at ...
