I presume, though it's not explicitly stated, that GPL+ can also be used where the license is explicitly given as "GPL version 1 or later" (e.g. for perl and all same-as-perl licensed modules)?
Yes, this correct.

Similarly, I take LGPL+ to be suitable for packages licensed as "LGPL v2 (not 2.1) or later" as well as for LGPL of unspecified version?
Not quite:

LGPL+ is only for unversioned LGPL (I've never seen this, but it's
possible).
LGPLv2+ is for LGPL 2/2.1 or later.


Can you explain the difference, considering there is no version 1 of the
LGPL ?

Also considering that the "Full name" column of the licensing page on the wiki specifically refers to v2.1 onwards (and not v2 onwards) for the LGPL2 and LGPL2+ short names.

Paul.
