Thanks. Someone up to writing it? :-)

Not sure. Is dh-make-perl intended for the end user to replace CPAN? I'd
like to see something like "apt-cpan" which will get a requested Perl
Module and all it's dependancies via CPAN, debianize them with
dh-make-perl and installs them. It might even check for upgrades. Until
we have such a thing, I think our users should not have to use CPAN, at
least for commonly used packages.
Greetings,
Joachim
