Re: News regarding compiled commercial deployment of perl based apps?

My goodness... you do not seem to mind using Perl (open source...) with its hundreds or thousands of CPAN packages (open source) upon which your brainchild depends, nor do you mind running it say on a Linux system (open source) using MySQL (open source) and Apache (open source) ...

What you need is simply a good registered copyright, a good written contract with your customers (courtesy of a real lawyer), and a product that is good enough and well-supported enough that your customers can effortlessly see the logic and the wisdom in buying it from you.   Each one, and every one, of the fabulously successful products that I have just cited are proof of the inherent wisdom of making it absolutely as easy as possible for your customers to make use of your product ... not to put any sort of obstacles in their path.

Who will make your product, and therefore you, successful?   Your stakeholders... your customers.   Trust them.   Empower them.
