  \ Foundation.\n\n     Everyone is permitted to copy and distribute verbatim copies\n     \
  \ of this license document, but changing it is not allowed.\n\nPreamble\n\nThis license establishes\
  \ the terms under which a given free software\nPackage may be copied, modified, distributed,\
  \ and/or redistributed.\nThe intent is that the Copyright Holder maintains some artistic\n\
  control over the development of that Package while still keeping the\nPackage available as\
  \ open source and free software.\n\nYou are always permitted to make arrangements wholly outside\
  \ of this\nlicense directly with the Copyright Holder of a given Package.  If the\nterms of\
  \ this license do not permit the full use that you propose to\nmake of the Package, you should\
  \ contact the Copyright Holder and seek\na different licensing arrangement. \n\nDefinitions\n\
  \n    \"Copyright Holder\" means the individual(s) or organization(s)\n    named in the copyright\
  \ notice for the entire Package.\n\n    \"Contributor\" means any party that has contributed\
  \ code or other\n    material to the Package, in accordance with the Copyright Holder's\n\
  \    procedures.\n\n    \"You\" and \"your\" means any person who would like to copy,\n  \
  \  distribute, or modify the Package.\n\n    \"Package\" means the collection of files distributed\
  \ by the\n    Copyright Holder, and derivatives of that collection and/or of\n    those files.\
  \ A given Package may consist of either the Standard\n    Version, or a Modified Version.\n\
  \n    \"Distribute\" means providing a copy of the Package or making it\n    accessible to\
  \ anyone else, or in the case of a company or\n    organization, to others outside of your\
  \ company or organization.\n\n    \"Distributor Fee\" means any fee that you charge for Distributing\n\
  \    this Package or providing support for this Package to another\n    party.  It does not\
  \ mean licensing fees.\n\n    \"Standard Version\" refers to the Package if it has not been\n\
  \    modified, or has been modified only in ways explicitly requested\n    by the Copyright\
  \ Holder.\n\n    \"Modified Version\" means the Package, if it has been changed, and\n   \
  \ such changes were not explicitly requested by the Copyright\n    Holder. \n\n    \"Original\
  \ License\" means this Artistic License as Distributed with\n    the Standard Version of the\
  \ Package, in its current version or as\n    it may be modified by The Perl Foundation in\
  \ the future.\n\n    \"Source\" form means the source code, documentation source, and\n  \
  \  configuration files for the Package.\n\n    \"Compiled\" form means the compiled bytecode,\
  \ object code, binary,\n    or any other form resulting from mechanical transformation or\n\
  \    translation of the Source form.\n\n\nPermission for Use and Modification Without Distribution\n\
  \n(1)  You are permitted to use the Standard Version and create and use\nModified Versions\
  \ for any purpose without restriction, provided that\nyou do not Distribute the Modified Version.\n\
  \n\nPermissions for Redistribution of the Standard Version\n\n(2)  You may Distribute verbatim\
  \ copies of the Source form of the\nStandard Version of this Package in any medium without\
  \ restriction,\neither gratis or for a Distributor Fee, provided that you duplicate\nall of\
  \ the original copyright notices and associated disclaimers.  At\nyour discretion, such verbatim\
  \ copies may or may not include a\nCompiled form of the Package.\n\n(3)  You may apply any\
  \ bug fixes, portability changes, and other\nmodifications made available from the Copyright\
  \ Holder.  The resulting\nPackage will still be considered the Standard Version, and as such\n\
  will be subject to the Original License.\n\n\nDistribution of Modified Versions of the Package\
  \ as Source \n\n(4)  You may Distribute your Modified Version as Source (either gratis\nor\
  \ for a Distributor Fee, and with or without a Compiled form of the\nModified Version) provided\
  \ that you clearly document how it differs\nfrom the Standard Version, including, but not\
  \ limited to, documenting\nany non-standard features, executables, or modules, and provided\
  \ that\nyou do at least ONE of the following:\n\n    (a)  make the Modified Version available\
  \ to the Copyright Holder\n    of the Standard Version, under the Original License, so that\
  \ the\n    Copyright Holder may include your modifications in the Standard\n    Version.\n\
  \n    (b)  ensure that installation of your Modified Version does not\n    prevent the user\
  \ installing or running the Standard Version. In\n    addition, the Modified Version must\
  \ bear a name that is different\n    from the name of the Standard Version.\n\n    (c)  allow\
  \ anyone who receives a copy of the Modified Version to\n    make the Source form of the Modified\
  \ Version available to others\n    under\n        \n    (i)  the Original License or\n\n \
  \   (ii)  a license that permits the licensee to freely copy,\n    modify and redistribute\
  \ the Modified Version using the same\n    licensing terms that apply to the copy that the\
  \ licensee\n    received, and requires that the Source form of the Modified\n    Version,\
  \ and of any works derived from it, be made freely\n    available in that license fees are\
  \ prohibited but Distributor\n    Fees are allowed.\n\n\nDistribution of Compiled Forms of\
  \ the Standard Version \nor Modified Versions without the Source\n\n(5)  You may Distribute\
  \ Compiled forms of the Standard Version without\nthe Source, provided that you include complete\
  \ instructions on how to\nget the Source of the Standard Version.  Such instructions must\
  \ be\nvalid at the time of your distribution.  If these instructions, at any\ntime while you\
  \ are carrying out such distribution, become invalid, you\nmust provide new instructions on\
  \ demand or cease further distribution.\nIf you provide valid instructions or cease distribution\
  \ within thirty\ndays after you become aware that the instructions are invalid, then\nyou\
  \ do not forfeit any of your rights under this license.\n\n(6)  You may Distribute a Modified\
  \ Version in Compiled form without\nthe Source, provided that you comply with Section 4 with\
  \ respect to\nthe Source of the Modified Version.\n\n\nAggregating or Linking the Package\
  \ \n\n(7)  You may aggregate the Package (either the Standard Version or\nModified Version)\
  \ with other packages and Distribute the resulting\naggregation provided that you do not charge\
  \ a licensing fee for the\nPackage.  Distributor Fees are permitted, and licensing fees for\
  \ other\ncomponents in the aggregation are permitted. The terms of this license\napply to\
  \ the use and Distribution of the Standard or Modified Versions\nas included in the aggregation.\n\
  \n(8) You are permitted to link Modified and Standard Versions with\nother works, to embed\
  \ the Package in a larger work of your own, or to\nbuild stand-alone binary or bytecode versions\
  \ of applications that\ninclude the Package, and Distribute the result without restriction,\n\
  provided the result does not expose a direct interface to the Package.\n\n\nItems That are\
  \ Not Considered Part of a Modified Version \n\n(9) Works (including, but not limited to,\
  \ modules and scripts) that\nmerely extend or make use of the Package, do not, by themselves,\
  \ cause\nthe Package to be a Modified Version.  In addition, such works are not\nconsidered\
  \ parts of the Package itself, and are not subject to the\nterms of this license.\n\n\nGeneral\
  \ Provisions\n\n(10)  Any use, modification, and distribution of the Standard or\nModified\
  \ Versions is governed by this Artistic License. By using,\nmodifying or distributing the\
  \ Package, you accept this license. Do not\nuse, modify, or distribute the Package, if you\
  \ do not accept this\nlicense.\n\n(11)  If your Modified Version has been derived from a Modified\n\
  Version made by someone other than you, you are nevertheless required\nto ensure that your\
  \ Modified Version complies with the requirements of\nthis license.\n\n(12)  This license\
  \ does not grant you the right to use any trademark,\nservice mark, tradename, or logo of\
  \ the Copyright Holder.\n\n(13)  This license includes the non-exclusive, worldwide,\nfree-of-charge\

  \ the Package with respect to any\npatent claims licensable by the Copyright Holder that are\
  \ necessarily\ninfringed by the Package. If you institute patent litigation\n(including a\
  \ cross-claim or counterclaim) against any party alleging\nthat the Package constitutes direct\
  \ or contributory patent\ninfringement, then this Artistic License to you shall terminate\
  \ on the\ndate that such litigation is filed.\n\n(14)  Disclaimer of Warranty:\nTHE PACKAGE\
  \ IS PROVIDED BY THE COPYRIGHT HOLDER AND CONTRIBUTORS \"AS\nIS' AND WITHOUT ANY EXPRESS OR\
  \ IMPLIED WARRANTIES. THE IMPLIED\nWARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR\
