Many Perl modules are just licensed "under the same terms as Perl
itself", so as soon as Perl is released under this license, we will
have several hundreds of packages automagically under it. Of course,
this will require updating/changing many of them (as Perl6 is not
backwards-compatible)... But I do see a case for including this
license in common-licenses.
