Most CPAN modules have the same abbrevation. I only specify license = perl and cpan prints the wrong The Perl 5 License (Artistic 1 & GPL 1) pointing to a document, which says ... the GNU General Public License as published by the Free Software Foundation; either version 1, or (at your option) any later version, or ... Interesting. metacpan avoids by displaying License: perl_5 So the best fix would be change the search cpan wording to The Perl 5 License (Artistic 1 & GPL 1+) When can perl5 be changed to Artistic 2, BTW?
