*sigh* no, it's not.

The key difference is that upstream chose one of perl's licenses.
Your package had only "under the same terms as Perl itself" (with all
the associated problems previously discussed). Now granted,
libtest-inline-perl should refer to /usr/share/common-licenses/ rather
than the copy on the Perl web site and I obviously misread that. Bad
me. [I guess that since you care so strongly about this, you've
already filed a bug on the package right?]
But the actual point is libtest-inline-perl has a license (but refers
to the wrong external file), whereas libxml-filter-sax1tosax2-perl had
no (unequivocal) license (and didn't refer to _any_ external file).

Actually I think you're already being far more than ridiculous.
