Binary package hint: dh-make-perl
- Not sure if this a dh-make-perl, a bug somewhere or no bug at all. dh-
- make-perl seems to be the most likely candidate so I report it here.

I created a package for http://xsh.sf.net to use on my computer with
dh-make-perl --build --cpan XML::XSH2. It was necessary to install
and sometimes compile a couple of other cpan packages first. But let's
not be concerned about that in this report.

Description: scripting language for XPath-based editing of XML
scripting language for XPath-based editing of XML
.
This description was automagically extracted from the module by
dh-make-perl.
I think there are at least two things missing. First is at least a
suggestion for libterm-readline-gnu-perl since that or a similar
readline package is necessary for command line history, etc. Second and
more importantly, after I deinstalled libxml-filter-domfilter-libxml-
perl, libxml-libxml-iterator-perl and libxml-xupdate-libxml-perl from my
computer, assuming they were only needed for compilation, xsh stopped
working and gave an error. Luckily the error message was obvious enough
that I reverted the deinstallation. Thus, at least one if not all of
the above packages represent an undeclared dependency for libxml-
xsh2-perl which dh-make-perl omitted when creating the package.
It would be nice if dh-make-perl had created a package that sported the
two above features.
