Perl is copyrighted as "GPL v1+ or Artistic".  About a year ago,
"GPL/Artistic" was commonly used in the License fields to mean "same
terms as Perl".

Now, if a module is distributed under such terms, I put "GPL/Artistic"
in the License and a comment "# same as perl" above, to make it easily
distinguishable.

Maybe we should put "same as perl" or something like this in the
License fields?

It sucks...


PS  Debian's FTP admins drop such packages.
