Not exactly [1] nnorman@foo:~ $ apt-cache show dh-make-perl Package: dh-make-perl Priority: optional Section: devel Installed-Size: 92 Maintainer: Paolo Molaro <lupus@debian.org> Architecture: all Version: 0.9 Depends: debhelper (>= 3.0.0), libpod-parser-perl, perl, make, dpkg-dev, fakeroot Filename: pool/main/d/dh-make-perl/dh-make-perl_0.9_all.deb Size: 13150 MD5sum: a45fc4ee33708e9120b54e64671d3134 Description: Create debian packages from perl modules dh-make-perl will create the files required to build a debian source package out of a perl package. This works for most simple packages and is also useful for getting started with packaging perl modules. Given a perl package name, it can also automatically download it from CPAN. -- Nathan Norman - Staff Engineer | A good plan today is better Micromuse Ltd. | than a perfect plan tomorrow. mailto:nnorman@micromuse.com | -- Patton [1] TM Hertz I am sure :/
