Okay, but how will you test that perl builds for all architectures ? Manually ?

Great, when you send your mail to d-d-a, please inform the maintainers of that NMU party explaining that anyone that hasn't provided an updated package during the two weeks, will be NMUed without notification unless he publicly expressed on debian-perl that he will take care of the package himself a little later.
