yes, of course.
We only need to distribute abiword binaries that are able to execute
random perl code (ie, compiled with the option ABI_OPT_PERL=1), and the
abiword perl bindings (ie, the stuff that gives perl scripts the
possibility to call abiword code).
Both of them can be distributed in the same package, so for a user/perl
hacker pow, he only need to install the abiword perl enabled binaries,
and (s)he can write/execute perl scripts for abiword.
