The perlfaq manpage gives copyright, authorship, and redistribution conditions ; and your editor can probably help you with all legal matters (it's his job.) Moreover, quotes are usually considered "fair use" and are not subject to copyright licencing unless otherwise stated (in France, for example, the limit for quotes is fifteen lines, for historical reasons -- a sonnet and its title, IIRC, but don't quote me on that :) -- after that amount you may have to conctact the copyright holders.) -- Is it any wonder the world's gone insane, with information come to be the only real medium of exchange ? -- Thomas Pynchon, Gravity's Rainbow
