Well.

One:
| $ rmadison -s oldstable perl
|     perl | 5.8.8-7etch6 |     oldstable | source, alpha, amd64, arm, hppa, i386, ia64, mips, mipsel, powerpc, s390, sparc

Two, grepping debhelper's history:
| +# the installation dir for arch-indep modules changed to
| +# /usr/share/perl5 in this version:
| +my $min_version = '5.6.0-16';

Looks like it?

some years ago…
| 
|     r463:    * dh_perl: updates from bod:
|          - Provide minimum version for arch-indep module dependencies
|            (perl-policy 1,18, section 3.4.1).
|          - Always update substvars, even if Perl:Depends is empty.

Also, you already have perl-base and perl-modules, that might look like
sufficient? (And perl through debhelper anyway.)

Mraw,
