All the Perl that's Practical to Extract and Report
I pour the blue liquid on the red liquid. If it doesn't blow up on my
face, I proceed to turn up the flame under the blue liquid, and so on.
I have very little idea of what I am really doing, I just like the
pretty colors :-)

Hi ciscott!
The actual licence for the module is the MIT X11 licence. The 'bsd' indicator for the licence is part of the module's meta-data because it's the closest choice for it in Module::Build, and in the PAUSE categorisation.
It does not make too much difference. The MIT X11 is considered part of the BSD family of licences, which includes licences that are completely non-copyleft as the original BSD, the modified BSD, MIT X11, the Apache licence, the Python licence, and so forth.
Even software whose source code is distributed under the Public Domain can be considered BSD-style. Just note that the Public Domain may have some complications when used for source code.
