Subject: License inconsistencies

./META.json:8:   "license" : [
./META.json-9-      "perl_5"
./META.json-10-   ],

./META.yml:11:license: perl

./Makefile.PL:6:# Artistic License, same as perl itself. Have fun.

./Makefile.PL:29:       ('LICENSE'              => 'perl', ) : ()),

./General/Interpolated.pm:7:# Artistic License, same as perl itself. Have fun.

./General.pm-2850-This library is free software; you can redistribute it and/or

The important aspect here is that the phrase "perl itself" indicates:
- Artistic 1 OR GPL-1-OR-NEWER

Whereas just saying "Artistic License" says only "Artistic 1"

Thus, in a single sentence, you stipulate two competing license terms.
