Why is this a problem? (Score:1)

Since all of my Perl code is useless without Perl itself, I'm quite happy for my code to "adapt" with the changing Perl licenses in the same way that Perl itself changes.

  I think the problem is the ambiguity. Do you mean any version of Perl? The latest version? And what exactly to you mean by "Perl" anyway?
  
  Perhaps it is intentionally ambiguous, though. I imagine that most people who use the same as Perl terms are simply not that concerned about how their code is used. Even still, I think it would be nice if there were a URL you could point to and say "there, that is what I mean". Something like: http://www.cpan.org/src/LICENSE [cpan.org]
