Thanks for the suggestion, but I was able to solve the problem with
some help from Manoj (thanks Manoj).  Now I just need to figure out
how to make perl-tk quit segfaulting and we'll have a new version, but
that's another thread (any assistance welcome).

He suggested:

----------------------------------------------------------------------
thisdir=$(shell pwd)
configure: stamp-configure  Makefile
	...
	-test ! -f stamp-configure && perl Makefile.PL && \
               touch stamp-configure
binary-indep: build stamp-binary
stamp-binary:
	...
        $(MAKE)  PREFIX=$(thisdir)/debian/tmp/usr \
                 INSTALLDIRS=perl \
                 INSTALLMAN1DIR=$(thisdir)/debian/tmp/usr/man/man1 \
                 INSTALLMAN3DIR=$(thisdir)/debian/tmp/usr/man/man3 \
                 pure_install
	...
----------------------------------------------------------------------

Thanks again
