OK, OK, I *knew* I should have read the README file before posting
that last article.  (Seeing all those index entries for The Book has
made me a bit dizzy, though. :-) I've been politely pummeled privately
and publicly for my lack of awareness.

Consider the original statement appropriate annotated to read as y'all
have suggested... that according to Larry, unexec'ed binaries are mere
aggregation, and would thus require only the sources to the Perl
interpreter to be made available at cost, and not your program source.

Crawling back to my rock to index a few more thousand lines of troff...
