I've added a LICENCE file following advice from SankoR in Re: GitHub perl-ci.yml

I have used App::Software::License as suggested in this Perl blog

However, both the blog and the module are quite old. Plus, the blog comment suggests this might not be the best methodology...

Is there a 'better' method that Monks are using?

As an aside, for the benefit of anyone stumbling this way looking at using App::Software::License. The documentation is wrong - at least for Strawberry Perl on Windows. The documentation shows single quotes for the --holder attribute. If single quotes are used, just the firstname is shown in the LICENCE file. Using double quotes solves this problem: --holder "Joe Bloggs"
