(Perl is open-source.) As are all modules on CPAN. If they really mean this, you will have to rewrite in a language that has a closed-source compiler, using only modules that are not available in source. Do not use any code examples, too, just to be sure ... =:-| If you want to be sure you are implementing what *they* want, you better ask *them* where "Open Source" stops. Steve's point about perl being open source may be important for your career ;-) (As in "Career-limiting move") > And migrating from a relational database to LDAP might > not be as obvious as... oh well. Depending on what you do, it may not even be suitable. LDAP organizes data hierarchically. It hangs attributes off objects. Generally, LDAP databases are slower than RDBMSes.
