Short answer; don't.

If you're maintaining the value for users who aren't allowed to change
it, then you don't want it in your form data.  Form submissions can be
spoofed, so you'd have to double-check the value (or drop it) in your
Perl code anyway... so you might as well just do that, and remove it
entirely from the HTML (which seems to be a simpler problem?)
