Bug#711512: libmodule-starter-perl: Wrong default for --license (maybe just a documentation issue)

[Axel Beckert]

Package: libmodule-starter-perl
Version: 1.600+dfsg-2
Severity: minor

Hi,

the man page module-starter(1p) says:

           --license=type   License under which the module will be distributed
                            (default is the same license as perl)

But a module created without --license option got in its Build.PL file:

    license             => 'Artistic_2_0',

According to the man page as cited above, the value should have been
"perl". So either the documentation is inaccurate or the default value
is wrong.
