I guess you mean the "License: unknown" in the left column of
https://metacpan.org/release/Term-Animation ? That just means that
metacpan failed to automatically extract the license (probably
because it's not mentioned in META.yml or META.json).

Looking at the tarball [0], the license is clear and free in the
README [1]:

#v+
COPYRIGHT AND LICENCE

So that's, as very common for Perl modules, "License: Artistic or GPL-1+".
No need to double-check with the author :)
