This CPAN module (see the URL) is required by the media-sound/squeezecenter ebuild. That ebuild is currently having to package its own copy of this CPAN module and has caused bug#251494.
This package doesn't have any license.
What should i do here?
<hat type="trustees"> Pretty much all of the stuff on CPAN I thought defaulted to "same-as-perl" (== "|| ( Artistic GPL-2 )")? Shouldn't be a problem to include it. Email the upstream author if you really see it as required. Include in the meantime, and change the license later if needed. </hat>

"Most, though not all, modules on CPAN are licensed under the GNU Public License (GPL) or the Artistic license and should be stated in the documentation that accompanies the module itself." <http://cpan.org/misc/cpan-faq.html#How_is_Perl_licensed> Most modules have a license statement. But not all. I always try to verify the license statement and if it says "same as perl" i remove LICENSE from the ebuild and use the one from the eclass. > Shouldn't be a problem to include it.

Done. Thanks.
Yes, I've tested that and it's working fine, thanks. Closing.
