This package was debianized by Ernesto Hernández-Novich (USB) using dh-make-perl on Fri, 30 May 2008 11:12:45 -0430. There was no explicit copyright notice neither in the webpage nor in the module distribution. I contacted the upstream author asking for clarification and also opened up a bug in CPAN's RT; the author replied via private e-mail with the following clarification.
