I think you are utterly confused about Open Source. Open Source and commercial are not mutual exclusive. You are also under the impression that if you write a program that uses a module that was released under the GPL, you have to release the source of that program. That is not true. You only have to make the source of your program available if you are going to *distribute* the program. Don't distribute, and you don't need to make any source available. Of course, since Perl programs are typically in source form anyway, I fail to see what kind of limitation we are talking about. Abigail
