Binaries aren't really an issue because this is a perl program. Perl is interpreted (or, stricly speaking, run-time compiled). The source code is the program, and you need the perl interpreter on your machine to run it.

Definitions for non-programmers:

Compiled program: A program called a compiler creates a binary executable from the source code. Programs written in C, C++ and Visual Basic (to name just a few languages) are compiled. Most commercial, proprietary software is compiled. Binaries can be distributed without source code.

Interpreted program: The source code is converted to executable code by an an iterpereter program when the program is run. Depending on the language, this may be done one line at a time (pure interpreted) like DOS/Windows batch files or UNIX shell scripts, or the entire program may be converted to executable code in memory, then executed when the program is launced (Java and perl work this way).
