licenses not detected

[xenoterracide]

very rarely a problem because most are perl artistic / gpl. but I just noticed one that isn't.

http://search.cpan.org/dist/XML-Writer/

this particular one is not actually my problem... it's in community. But I thought it might make a good example...

Yes this is a TODO item. It just hasn't been worth the effort to implement it. I created a todo list on the wiki for fun:

as a note about dists like xml writer. if we fail to detect the license is there a spec on 'custom' or something that arch uses? I'm commenting without checking. but defining as custom seems about right.

Yes arch uses 'custom:$LicenseName' where $LicenseName is the license name that is not one of archlinux's common licenses. All that info and more is on the wiki page... check it out. You could even implement it ;-)
