Thanks for clarifying. I can see why Perl does it that way (given that it
sort-of adds package management for modules in a generic way for systems that
lack it). I added the two lines highlighted below which seems to fix it:

                $(MAKE) PREFIX=$(debtmp)/usr \
                        INSTALLDIRS=perl \
                        INSTALLMAN1DIR=$(debman)/man1 \
                        INSTALLMAN3DIR=$(debman)/man3 \
                        pure_install
                -gzip -9qf $(debman)/man3/*
---------->     # fix file modes from 444 to 644 as discovered by lintian
---------->     find $(debtmp)/usr/lib/perl5 -perm 444 | xargs chmod u+w
                dpkg-gencontrol
                chown -R root.root $(debtmp)
                chmod -R g-ws $(debtmp)
                dpkg --build $(debtmp) ..   
                touch stamp-binary

No big deal.
