Of course you need source. All packages in Debian are built from sources.
You can follow all the packaging descriptions for standard packages
even if there's nothing to compile (take a look at the developers corner
on the web).
Your rules file will consist mostly of copying files to the right places.
And for perl modules, you usually have to launch a perl Makefile.PL
and after that you can use make install. You can find the good lines
in the perl policy (http://pandora.debian.org/~hertzog/perl-policy.html).
You can also try to take a look a other sources for perl scripts &
modules.
Cheers,
