My head spins. If this is the position of ASF legal, how can you even use "Perl itself" or the core Perl modules?

OK. I agree, this should probably be on the very bottom of the list of priorities.

Show me the code :-D I'd love to contribute with more than handwaving, but right now I simply don't have any personal time to spare, and there is really no need for sharding (or even Lucy) in any of the projects I'm working on. I've just been running some tests on Lucy so far, enough to say that I'd use Lucy if I get the chance :-) -- Best regards, Dag Lem
