No.  The Artistic License mentions this in clauses 3 and 4, but always
as one item in a list of "do at least ONE of the following".

Clauses 3 and 4 can be satisfied by making the modified version freely
available together with its sources, which we always do, so it is not
necessary to rename the executables.
