Subject: Ambiguous license
Only license paragraph:

./lib/Cache/Memcached.pm:1258:You may distribute under the terms of either the GNU General Public
./lib/Cache/Memcached.pm:1259:License or the Artistic License, as specified in the Perl README file.

This suggests "Artistic 1 or GPL 1 only"

However, the license in the Perl readme is "Artistic 1, or GPL 1 OR NEWER"

Thus, as stated, the license restricts you from using GPL2 or GPL3, even though "Perl" specifies you may use these licenses.
