If you are, then I think you have to hack around the ActivePerl source to remove all mention of ActivePerl and ActiveState or else get a redistribution agreement with them - you aren't allowed to distribute something calling itself ActivePerl otherwise. I had a discussion with Jan Dubois about this a while ago. I have the mails somewhere if you're interested. Here at Radan we distribute our Perl build with our software, and went through a phase of using the ActivePerl sources, suitably hacked to remove the Active* name. (At the time that consisted of deleting BuildInfo.h, editing perlexe.rc and perldll.rc, and removing BuildNumber() from win32/win32.c.) Now that the standard Perl is coming out much more frequently itself (and recently there has only been one ActivePerl release per Perl release), we don't bother any more and currently just use the standard Perl source. - Steve ------------------------------------------------ Radan Computational Ltd.
