OK, that's fair enough.

Is there a precedent in Extras for calling perl modules (or anything else for
that matter) "distributable" in the absence of any specific licensing terms
being included upstream?

Looking at rt for this module, the author appears to be completely unresponsive
to rt tickets. Perhaps it's worth trying to contact him directly?
