The licensing for this module is interesting -- the documentation of the

module states that the license is Perl (aka GPL or Artistic), whereas the

files have LGPL headers and the tarball includes the text of the LGPL itself.

Given the author's response, my assessment is that this software is triple

licensed:  It may be used under the terms of the GPL, LGPL, or Artistic

license, at your option.

Whatever.  I don't actually care one way or the other.  Go right ahead.
