Subject: Ambiguous licensing

Various top level files (META.json,META.yml,Build.PL)  indicate "The same license as perl" ( which is either Artistic-1 OR GPL1-OR-NEWER )

But LibBuilder.pm and README indicate only "The GNU General Public License", and just as one doesn't assume "Artistic-2" when one sees "the Artistic License", its not sensible to assume that phrase means anything other than GPL-1.

So in summary, some files indicate the following options:

any( Artistic-1 GPL-1 GPL-2 GPL-3 )

but the .pm files only indicate

any( Artistic-1 GPL-1 )
