Subject: LICENSE = 'unknown'

https://metacpan.org/source/DCONWAY/Regexp-Grammars-1.014/META.yml

Not sure why this is  *shrug* 

LICENSE in META.yml also controls the "License: " on the left here: https://metacpan.org/release/Regexp-Grammars

Ah. I think I've worked it out.

Build.PL confused me into thinking you were using Module::Build to do releases, but looking deeper in the Meta.{yml,json} indicates those files are generated by ExtUtils::MakeMaker,

And ExtUtils::MakeMaker hasn't a license specified in Makefile.PL

In theory, all that should be required to have the correct LICENSE metadata in the respective places is to insert  the stanza

 LICENSE => 'perl',

In the call to WriteMakefile() 

Hope this helps.
