I spoke too hastily here. Per the packaging guidelines [1] unusual
licenses should be installed in /usr/share/licenses/${pkgname}. However,
PerlArtistic actually appears to be included in the licenses package
already, so this isn't necessary in your case.

I think the aurweb maintainers will have the most to say about whether
this is an absolute requirement. I think the chief concern has been disk
space requirements on the server, so you could probably make the case
here that the script can just be included in the repo.

I personally still wouldn't do this just because I think it's a good
idea to keep source materials (which could theoretically be packaged by
other distros) separate from the packaging scripts themselves.

makepkg -g will generate whatever type of integrity check is already in
the PKGBUILD. So just make the last line of your PKGBUILD sha256sums=()
and then replace it with the output of makepkg -g.
