Corporate no-use policies often reflect concerns about open-source "contamination" (a la Stallman) or ownership of IP.

And even if your company doesn't have a foolish and shortsighted "no-use" policy, it may still have a very reasonable requirement that all software imports go via some central body with the authority to approve licenses.

This is actually quite important. Many CPAN modules are licensed under the same terms as Perl, but not all of them are. For example, Math::Random explicitly states that "commercial incorporation of these routines into products to be sold requires permission and perhaps payment to the ACM", while Net::SMS is actually a demo for a commercial product and is licensed for internal evaluation purposes only. There aren't many companies that would be overly pleased about people bringing that kind of potential liability in through the back door ...

Title:
Use:  <p> text here (a paragraph) </p>
and:  <code> code here </code>
to format your post; it's "PerlMonks-approved HTML":



  • Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
  • Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
    <code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
  • Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
  • Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
