> Dear mentors,
There's no much point in seeking sponsors in debian-mentors, when the
package has Debian Perl Group as Maintainer, I think :)

I've taken a look and here are some notes:
* debian/copyright
+ there is dh-make-perl boilerplate about copyright info being
automatically extracted. remove it.
+ author and licensing information are intermixed
separate AUTHORS, COPYRIGHT and LICENSE sections ease the reading
+ once license is "same as Perl", then there is
This program is free software; you can redistribute it and/or modify
it under the terms of either:
a) the GNU General Public License as published by.......
the later are Perl licensing terms, yes, but it would be better to
say "Perl is licensed under the following terms" somewhere.
* debian/rules
+ dh_installexamples is unused
+ install is missing in .PHONY
* debhelper
+ consider if DH compat level 6 could be used
* debian/control
+ Dm-Upload-Allowed: yes
I personally have no observation of your work so I can't upload this
with DM-U-A:yes
I also believe that you don't actually need that flag, as uploads
are rather quick within the group. The "Ready for upload" queue at
http://pkg-perl.alioth.debian.org/cgi-bin/qareport.cgi is usualy
flushed daily.
Thank you for your work so far.
