Module-ScanDeps-1.22 has weird license declaration. While LICENSE file quotes Artistic 2.0 license, lib/Module/ScanDeps.pm (and other module) files declares "same terms as Perl itself" and that means GPL+ or Artistic 1 (see http://dev.perl.org/licenses/).
The current wordings implies that lib/Module/ScanDeps.pm (and other module) files are covered by GPL+ or Artistic 1 licenses and the other files like wip/scan_dlls.pl are covered by Artistic 2.0 license.
Is that really what the author wants?
