The WDVL believes in the Open Source movement. Since our inception, we've been providing all of our Perl scripts to our readers at no cost. We've also always supported the use of the hot Open Source software that's making news these days, including today's hotties, Linux and Apache. This section will consolidate all of our Open Source software, as well as keep you informed about the latest Open Source news and resources out there.
