perl interpreter - can I see the source from the web?

Hopefully a simple question - we run a perl script with userid/password stored in the script in clear text.

Is there any way someone as smart as Clay could get the code to display on a remote workstation / web page? The offending code has been removed, but I am getting strong 'suit' pressure to put it back.

Easy. If it is directly available, - like with Opera - just press View->View Source

If not, I often use 'wget' to get the script or page source, and if that doesn't work - and I still want to see the source - I use several perl approaches to get to the source, sometimes only out of curiousity.

Pages with .pl extension trigger my curiousity :)
