It's always usefull when people bring an issue up before a list to provide appropriate links to the context in which the decisions are being made, and or prior discussion on the decision. The threads on debian-perl[1][2] dealing with this issue explain the problems pretty well, and Colin and James come to (roughly) the same conclusions that I did. One of the issues raised in this thread, but not alluded to in the parent message is that Michael G Schwern (upstream) uses the "under the same terms as perl itself" and then only links to the Artistic license.[3] Michael should clarify in the copyright/license statement whether he means gpl+artistic or artistic only, due to the dissonance between these two statements.
