The argument to --cpan is a module name. dh-make-perl(1) says:
dh-make-perl [make] {SOURCE_DIR | --cpan MODULE} options...
… 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.
Later on it says (apparently wrongly):
--cpan DIST
Instructs dh-make-perl to fetch and extract the given CPAN
distribution.
Big retitled.
Of course, falling back to CPAN distribution if module by that name
can't be found would be useful too. Cloning another bugreport.
