   one more reason to publish binaries for mswin: ZoneAlarm.
   popfile, written in perl, forces the average[1] user to allow all perl 
   programs to access the internet -- a gaping hole in your firewall. (I 
   consider this a defect in ZoneAlarm's design, but I don't think it is going 
   away anytime soon.)

   [1] a sophisticated user could create a private copy of perl.exe
   and call it popfile.exe

Or a sophisticated _installer_ program could make that copy (or symlink)
of perl.exe itself, name it popfile.exe, and all would be well.
