Re: [ANNOUNCE] automatic perl module building from CPAN

[eichin@thok.org (Mark W. Eichin)]

Cool!  (Though I'd suggest adding an abbreviation for the
make-source-deb function you expressed with that arcane expression...)

dh-make-perl exists, but it is still fairly primitive (aside from the
typos in early versions, it hadn't gotten more accurate than my own
hand-hacked scripts did) and I think something integrated with the
CPAN module is a lot more likely to continue to handle CPAN
enhancements... in fact, my scripts started by running the CPAN code
and using it to actually pull down, unpack, find author strings and
such to populate the control file...
