I've reproduced this message with a copyright that contains:
Copyright: "2009-2011, Dominique Dumont <ddumont at cpan.org>"
Note the quite at the beginning of the copyright statement. With this quote at
the beginning of the statement, the substitution command s/\s*".*// matches
the whole statement, so it removes its content, which triggers the "Undefined
mandatory value".
