I haven't looked at dh_make_perl. Back a long time ago I started to work on a Debian-specific architecture file for ExtUtils, but it was a bad time to be doing this (dh/debmaker were in flux and there was no real perl policy yet.)
Whoever writes/maintains dh_make_perl may want to take a look at what I did though to see if that tact might help improve dh_make_perl. If so, see http://mojo.calyx.net/~bri/projects/Debian/ExtUtils/ (you'll have to unpack the .deb there, but all the mods were in perl so you don't need a .dsc/orig) (P.S. BTW, someone changed something in unstable lately such that if you take a module and build it with PREFIX=/usr/local, it ends up in /usr/local/local. Not sure if I like this, or if that was a forseen result.) -- Brian S.
