Artistic License

[Dale]

I want, once more, to thank the forum for providing me with guidance and
answers to my questions
It seems that properly licensing your software is more difficult than
actually developing it
My application will be written in Perl and will be explicitly released under
GPL but I will use components (libraries) written in Perl which are
typically licensed under Artistic License 1.0 (
http://www.opensource.org/licenses/artistic-license-1.0), some in 2.0 (
http://www.opensource.org/licenses/artistic-license-2.0) and some in the
"License of Perl 5" (https://www.socialtext.net/perl5/perl_license)
The thing is that in the future I might want to try selling a 'pro' version
of the application just to help me pay the bill (very optimistic and
unrealistic at the same time,I know..) and the Artistic License has me
baffled.

version 1.0's section 5 "prohibits sale of the software, yet allows an
aggregate software distribution of more than one program to be sold. So, if
you bundle an Artistic-licensed program with a five-line *hello-world.c*,
you can sell the bundle." quoting
Open Sources: Voices from the Open Source Revolution at
http://oreilly.com/catalog/opensources/book/perens.html

version 2.0's "Aggregating or Linking the Package

(7) You may aggregate the Package (either the Standard Version or Modified
Version) with other packages and Distribute the resulting aggregation
provided that you do not charge a licensing fee for the Package. Distributor
Fees are permitted, and licensing fees for other components in the
aggregation are permitted. The terms of this license apply to the use and
Distribution of the Standard or Modified Versions as included in the
aggregation."

The License of Perl 5 :
"The Perl License is a combination of the Artistic License and GPL. The user
is allowed to choose which license they follow. It is compatible with the
GPL.
Because of issues with the Artistic License, Perl 6 uses the Artistic
License 2."

So I don't know what I make of it,may I sell my GPL software which depends
on those modules ?
