The Texinfo licensing is compatible with Perl.
Actually, it's not. As far as I could determine in a few searches, it's released only under the GPL, which means it cannot be included in the core Perl distro. Everything in the Perl core has to be released under the dual-license (GPL + Artistic). I highly doubt that the GNU folks will grant their precious Texinfo to be released under something more liberal than the GPL, especially as they already view licenses like the Artistic and BSD licenses as sell-outs.
Which means, we'd need to rewrite the entire Texinfo application. Are you volunteering?

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).
