Ok, this is OT but here goes. ActiveState says you can't distribute ActiveState by yourself without a license. A PAR executable could do nothing but evaluate a perl file passed into it on the command line. This, in effect, is not Perl, but a Perl program .. does this constitute distributing ActiveState perl?
I have no interest in doing this -- but I have used a PAR app before (it actually did something other than evaluate Perl code), though we never quite got the legal ok. I told my boss, "let the lawyers figure this out", and evidentally it passed. I was not about to make the decision myself. Really, I wish we bought the ActiveState license -- that would have been the way to go.
