This helps, but a followup...

You said "And their answer is that if you wish to use LWP, your program must be GPLed" In this example LWP is "same license as Perl".

If someone only uses Perl ArtLic modules, can they sell the software?

I know MSVC++ or Delphi would be OK, but I would like to use Perl (I have 6 Perl books). Do you know about Python? --Their FAQ says you can do just about anything with it...

I am NOT trying to steal anyone's IP, but want to learn a new language and get the experience of selling a product to a bunch of "beginner" users. (The Perl community would find it too simplistic) (prev person asked about this...)

thanks!
