Hi,
sorry, I only notice this message now.

I certainly agree to a relicensing, provided the copyrights/licensing terms 
are clearly displayed in a header at the top of source files, rather than 
tucked a way in a separate file.

It was certainly good enough for GPL, but LGPL brings an all new set of 
people, with maybe less of a free software mindset, and it is much harder to 
abuse a license, deliberatly or not, when it is spelled many times right in 
front of you.

If this is acceptable to the new PerlQt project maintainers, then please just 
go ahead :-)

Greetings, and best luck with the project..

Germain
