Now, that you don't get tired to reiterate this I can't avoid to veto
against this:

IMHO (IANAL), this is a non-issue and the guidelines should be changed
accordingly.

The only point here is: The GPL wants authors to ship a copy of the GPL
with packages. However the GPL is not in a position to enforce this, nor
does not shipping a verbatim copy of the GPL void the license of a
package.

The original authors have decided not to ship it, but in most cases of
perl modules prefer to refer to "the license as perl". So be it.
