NAME
dh_perl - calculates Perl dependencies and cleans up after MakeMaker
SYNOPSIS
dh_perl [debhelper options] [-d] [library dirs ...]
DESCRIPTION
dh_perl is a debhelper program that is responsible for generating the ${perl:Depends} substitutions and
adding them to substvars files.
The program will look at Perl scripts and modules in your package, and will use this information to
generate a dependency on perl or perlapi. The dependency will be substituted into your package's control
file wherever you place the token ${perl:Depends}.
dh_perl also cleans up empty directories that MakeMaker can generate when installing Perl modules.
OPTIONS
-d In some specific cases you may want to depend on perl-base rather than the full perl package. If so,
you can pass the -d option to make dh_perl generate a dependency on the correct base package. This is
only necessary for some packages that are included in the base system.
Note that this flag may cause no dependency on perl-base to be generated at all. perl-base is
Essential, so its dependency can be left out, unless a versioned dependency is needed.
-V By default, scripts and architecture independent modules don't depend on any specific version of
perl. The -V option causes the current version of the perl (or perl-base with -d) package to be
specified.
library dirs
If your package installs Perl modules in non-standard directories, you can make dh_perl check those
directories by passing their names on the command line. It will only check the vendorlib and
vendorarch directories by default.
