[Chicago-talk] Perl binaries

[Michael D. Stemle, Jr.]

I wouldn't say that necessarily.  There are a considerable number of Perl libs 
that use XS, many of them use libs that are GPLed (e.g. GTK, GnuPG, Qt, 
MySQL).  Then you have all of the non-Perlesque licensed modules (e.g. 
DB_File) that you'd have to worry about.

Could you do it?  Probably.  It could be complicated though.
