Note that your program's distribution is more restrictive than
perltoot's.  For example, he allows someone to make a book out of the
documentation and sell it, but your copyright does not.

I agree that the first is arguably non-DFSG.  I would think that
applying the Artistic license to his documentation would be
sufficient, where a modified version would have to state that this is
a modified version and from where to get the original.
