Perl Tk license

[Dale]

>From a research I've done all applications written in Perl just import the
modules (like 'use Tk') into their source code, they don't ship with the
full source code of the module.I think that falls under your first category:

>>require users to install the Perl Tk module (typical);

Should my source code distribution include a verbatim copy of each license
used ?
i.e if a module that I import is under Artistic License 1.0 and another one
under Artistic License 2.0, should I also include a copy of the license (in
a text file) or is just a URL link to the license sufficient?

and what about my binary distribution when I create one executable with all
those modules/components tied together with my source?
Is just a README file that says "the executable application uses Perl Tk
module,etc For Perl tk's license check the following URL...."
something along those lines.Is that sufficient?

thanks very much again
