The perl binary currently is team maintained inside debian. This is a separate team from the perl packages team which maintains perl modules in debian. Teamwork has allowed us to maintain a huge amount of high-quality debs, as well as enjoy each others company. :)
The perl binary team is relatively new, but it has some talented veterans who keep the perl binary up-to-date.
I strongly recommend working with a team when contributing to debian, it is an effective way to maintain software.
