Hi. I forwarded your report to the FSF people, who were very kind to "expand" the tabs in their licenses in text format at ftp.gnu.org, and also to the Perl people, who unfortunately did not answer at all. So, I'm going to update the FSF licenses and consider this bug "mostly fixed". If you don't like this and insist that the perl license should be "fixed" as well, please talk to upstream, or reopen and reassign to the perl package, but there is really nothing more I can do about this as base-files maintainer.
