in thread How to slice complicated string into an array

In extreme cases, one could even go so far as to pack pure-Perl module code at the end of one's script. Text::CSV's license is the same as Perl's. So what's the (hypothetical) problem in this case?

    Indeed, that's the best-case scenario; and it still isn't great, since it means typing in, by hand, the code from the module.

        I once cut&pasted the first 4 lines of the lyrics to the M*A*S*H theme tune into a post, as part of a joke in a light-hearted discussion in an internal forum, whilst contracting at a UK subsidiary of a large American IT company.

        The subject of the joke was a new (internal) project control process that was being imposed on the group I was a part of.

        I got dragged over the coals in a process that went on for months. The problem was not taking the piss about the company's products, but copyrighted lyrics.

        The reviews of the 'incident' went to the (UK) national board level, before being handed over to the US corporate lawyers for resolution. The final resolution involved the corporation making a unilateral and voluntary financial donation to the US equivalent of the UKs Public Performance Licensing body.

        Never ignore the possibility of legal ramifications.

        Perhaps you're not quite clear on the extremeness of the situation. No network connectivity. No external media (USB drive, etc.) allowed.
