As others have pointed out, you do, it is open source. That is why I 
bought my first SqueezeBox, because the Slimserver is open source.

The firmware of the embedded controllers inside the SqueezeBox and 
Transporters is not open source, but I am not even convinced that 
SlimDevices wouldn't provide it under suitable terms, but, and this is a 
big but, embedded systems development is not the same as hacking some 
perl or html. You always need pricy development environments, 
specialized compilers, links, etc. and I believe that the embedded 
vendor wants a huge amount of money, say $20,000 for their development 
kit. Plus, embedded systems are weird, developing for them is a 
specialized skill.

Get the perl, fix it, be happy.
