One of the by-effects of using Linux is that I don't 'need' any 'expensive' programs to run a well-working system.

Besides, those 'costly' Perl programs you have are either buggy junk created by greedy opportunists, or they've been created by Perl Monks. In the first case, I wouldn't want those programs because of their quality, and in the second case, I wouldn't rip off a fellow Monk!

Of course, those 'costly' programs, if of quality, would be interesting to read to learn from, but the authors post plenty of just as informative code snippets and thought right here!

In short: I think you should print them on toilet paper! ~;-)
