AFAIKT, perldocstyle was added to core in 2020, with the author's first
draft proposing using American English, then during discussions in these
p5p and PR threads:

    http://nntp.perl.org/group/perl.perl5.porters/258505
    https://github.com/Perl/perl5/pull/18275

the issue of approved language was hardly raised, and a consensus wasn't
reached. So the text kind of slipped in under the radar.
