The ebuild says Artistic or GPL, but I cannot find any reference to GPL licensing terms within the tarball.

Not looking deep enough I think.

Pod-Parser:

If your version of Perl was not distributed under the
 terms of the Artistic License, than you may distribute PodParser
 under the same terms as Perl itself.


Perl:

    it under the terms of either:

        a) the GNU General Public License as published by the Free
        Software Foundation; either version 1, or (at your option) any
        later version, or

        b) the "Artistic License" which comes with this Kit.
