Hi.  I can't say much about the perl side, but I can give some comments
about the rest of the packaging.

As far as I know there is no /lib/perl5; this should be /usr/lib/perl5.

There is no upstream changelog?
Also, according to section 5.8 of the policy manual, changelogs should be
installed compressed even if they are small.

You will probably want to indent these items by two or more spaces, so
that they don't get word-wrapped.  (Packaging manual, 7.1)

Hm... none of these programs have man pages.  Also, the names "parents"
and "children" and "elements" (and perhaps "plain.pl") are probably too
general for such a specialised package as this.

You don't need this directory.

This should be installed as changelog.gz (policy manual, 5.8).

I hope this helps,
