Comment (by dbevans):

 I agree. The SPDX scheme seems to be more comprehensive than ours and
 gaining popularity elsewhere. Perl now has added a standardized (but
 optional) metadata element

 {{{
 "x_spdx_expression" : "Artistic-1.0-Perl OR GPL-1.0-or-later"
 }}}

 in addition to the existing

 {{{
     "license" : [
        "perl_5"
     ]
 }}}

 We might add something similar to our Portfile syntax.
