Just out of curiosity, how are you avoiding releasing the source code of your product to your customers? Since it is written entirely in perl, don't you have to give the customer access to the source so they can run it?

As far as the GPL goes, you can attach any sort of license on your code that you would like as long as you are not including GPL'd in your own.

note: I am only commenting on the GPL. I am not familiar enough with the Artistic License to comment on it.
