Hmm... this seems more confusing then. The file containing the module Unix::Statgrab explicitly states in POD that it is licensed as LGPL 2.1+. Thus I would assume that is the license it must be used under. The XS file does not specify any license itself, so I would assume it to be covered under the distribution (Perl 5) license. The rest of the files are just POD so not really a concern. I think the current setup does not completely convey how the licensing is intended.
To cover how you describe it, I would mention the conjunction of both licenses in both the POD, XS code, and as the distribution license, possibly clarifying in the POD and XS code what each license applies to. Unfortunately I don't think there's a way to tell EUMM to set two licenses, but you could do it in META_MERGE (
https://metacpan.org/pod/CPAN::Meta::Spec#license ), I'm not sure how well it's supported...
