Overview
dh-make-perl will create the files required to build a debian source package out of a perl package. This works for most simple packages and is also useful for getting started with packaging perl modules.
You can specify a module name with the --cpan switch and dh-make-perl will download the module for you from a CPAN mirror, or you can specify the directory with the already unpacked sources. If neither --cpan nor a directory is given as argument, dh-make-perl tries to create a perl package from the data in .
There is an override mechanism in place to handle most of the little changes that may be needed for some modules (this hasn't been tested much, though, and the override database needs to be filled in).
You can build and install the debian package using the --build and --install command line switches.
Using this program is no excuse for not reading the debian developer documentation, including the Debian policy, the perl policy, the packaging manual and so on.
