I’m not sure about the legalities of dual-licensing. If you look at
licences like the GPL, they have wording that says “if you don’t
accept this licence, then you don’t have permission to use the
software”. That kind of precludes getting that permission via an
alternative licence ...

Can you show me the line of perl being under two licences? I'd like to
understand the point.

It doesn't say it's under both licences, it says it can be redistributed
under any one of those licenses. Which is not the same.

And, some code, like Linux are really licensed under more than one
license. But if the whole code is distributed under more than one
license, to my knowledge, each part of it fall under only one license.

So, once again: I don't see the point to have two licenses for one line of
code and I don't believe it exists. I see the point to have more than
one license for a all program because more than one author can provide a
part of it, each one having it's preferred license.
