I don't think compiling them would require a OEM license but as I've understood from Andy it requires a bit of work to setup the build environment to compile them. ActiveState have a tendency to remove older perl versions and only offer the latest or two latest ones for free, so for it to work for new users you need to ensure you have always compiled the CPAN modules towards the latest version available from ActiveStatue. So I think Windows support will be a bit of work independent if you redistribute compiled exe's or just distribute perl code with compiled CPAN modules. But maybe we can create a Linux based server box also to get around that issue or just recommend users to get a VortexBox Appliance. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ erland's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=3124 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=97881 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
