One of the by-effects of using Linux is that I don't 'need' any 'expensive' programs to run a well-working system.

Besides, those 'costly' Perl programs you have are either buggy junk created by greedy opportunists, or they've been created by Perl Monks. In the first case, I wouldn't want those programs because of their quality, and in the second case, I wouldn't rip off a fellow Monk!

Of course, those 'costly' programs, if of quality, would be interesting to read to learn from, but the authors post plenty of just as informative code snippets and thought right here!

In short: I think you should print them on toilet paper! ~;-)

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.
