This is good news; Perl modules have often been a source of licensing
trouble due to missing or contradictory licenses.

Please also note that in Fedora, "problematic license" applies to the
plain Artistic license, so if a package licensed under the original
Artistic license (not the clarified or 2.0 versions) and does not also
have some other license (such as in the "Same as Perl" "GPL+ or
Artistic") then it is unfortunately not acceptable for Fedora.  For
example, Net-SinFP has 104.17% "Kwalitee" on the CPANTS site but is
not acceptable for Fedora because it carries only the Artistic
license.
