This is not correct. Dustismo.LICENSE contains the license for the
Dustismo_Sans.ttf font file. The rest is licensed under the same terms
as Perl. See the README file:

COPYRIGHT

    Copyright (c) 1999 Martien Verbruggen
    mgjv at comdyn.com.au

    This package is free software; you can redistribute it and/or
    modify it under the same terms as Perl itself.

Enclosed fonts: 

    Dustismo Sans and Dustismo Roman
    http://www.cheapskatefonts.com/
    see Dustismo,LICENSE for original (GPL) license

So I guess the right thing to do would be:

 - Include README in the license files

 - Set the license to:

   Artistic or GPL-1.0+ (perl module), GPL-2.0+ (font)

Best regards,

Thomas
