Not Sophos. ActivePerl. ActivePerl costs $0.00 to download and use, but AFAIK it's not free software, thus the question :-) Issac Frank Wiles wrote: On Wed, 15 Nov 2006 12:34:50 +0200 Issac Goldstand [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Cool! But, what license does it have? Sophos is a

Hi there, folks -- is the use of PAR with mp2 recommended in production? We are considering distribution options for an mp2 application, including vmware and rPath, which can be rather expensive, depending on your targeted market segment. Is there any consensus on this issue, any standard
