Please note that you are not allowed to copy ActivePerl on a CD and
redistribute it outside your organization without a redistribution
license from ActiveState.

That is certainly a possibility. The ActivePerl license explicitly
allows distribution of executables created by wrapping programs like
PAR, PerlApp or Perl2Exe [1]. Of course we prefer that you choose
PerlApp
from the Perl Dev Kit. :)

[1] This is a newer clarification in the license that has been added
recently, so it is not stated explicitly in older ActivePerl
documentation.
