For those of you that choose to use the GNU General Public License,

my interpretation of the GNU General Public License is that no Perl

script falls under the terms of the GPL unless you explicitly put

said script under the terms of the GPL yourself.  Furthermore, any

object code linked with perl does not automatically fall under the

terms of the GPL, provided such object code only adds definitions

of subroutines and variables, and does not otherwise impair the

resulting interpreter from executing any standard Perl script.  I

consider linking in C subroutines in this manner to be the moral

equivalent of defining subroutines in the Perl language itself.  You

may sell such an object file as proprietary provided that you provide

or offer to provide the Perl source, as specified by the GNU General

Public License.  (This is merely an alternate way of specifying input

to the program.)  You may also sell a binary produced by the dumping of

a running Perl script that belongs to you, provided that you provide or

offer to provide the Perl source as specified by the GPL.  (The

fact that a Perl interpreter and your code are in the same binary file

is, in this case, a form of mere aggregation.)  This is my interpretation

of the GPL.  If you still have concerns or difficulties understanding

my intent, feel free to contact me.  Of course, the Artistic License

spells all this out for your protection, so you may prefer to use that.
