No, modification without distribution is section 1. Under section 6, all 
binary versions (compiled versions, etc) must comply with section 4. And 
under section 4 you must either contribute your changes (as source) back 
to the original project, change the name, or release your source code 
under the Artistic License or a copy-left license. Distribution is 
distribution, whether it's binary or source.
