One could argue that Open Source giving you the choice between the two
is more important than some people choosing a non-Free path. Some
people choose to Open Source their work, others don't, but since Perl
(and just about every module) is under the Artistic License/LGPL
instead, say, of the GPL, it is implicitly allowed (and maybe arguably
encouraged) to not necessarily make all of your work Free.
Of course, it's much more preferable for people to release things into
the Open. :)
