Cf. also the table at
http://www.debian.org/doc/packaging-manuals/copyright-format/1.0/#license-specification

| Perl | Perl license (use "GPL-1+ or Artistic-1" instead). |

Or
http://lintian.debian.org/tags/copyright-file-lacks-pointer-to-perl-license.html
"If your package is released under the same terms as Perl itself, it
should refer to the Artistic and GPL license files in the
/usr/share/common-licenses directory."

So "Artistic or GPL-1+" it is.

Cheers,
gregor
