That would be for lawyers to decide... but I wouldn't assume so, it's
just incompletely specified. If there is no license, you may do NOTHING
with the code, not everything. Also, looking at the perl license that
is mentioned in the document cited above it looks like perl uses exactly
version 2 (man perlgpl).
