my @guesses = Software::LicenseUtils->guess_license_from_pod($pm_text);

to the distribution. It will return a list of zero or more
Software::License instances or classes.
guess_license_from_meta_key
my @guesses = Software::LicenseUtils->guess_license_from_meta_key($key, $v);
This method returns zero or more Software::License classes known to use
$key as their META key. If $v is supplied, it specifies whether to
treat $key as a v1 or v2 meta entry. Any value other than 1 or 2 will
raise an exception.

my $license_object = Software::LicenseUtils->new_from_short_name( {
short_name => 'GPL-1',
holder => 'X. Ample'
}) ;
