This is probably related to lintian bug #199898.
XS modules have one or more perl modules which are used to bootstrap
(via DynaLoader or XSLoader) the compiled code and often to provide a
richer interface to the underlying library.
Such modules should be installed under /usr/lib, alongside the binary
objects.
A rule of thumb is: if your module installs <Module>.so under
/usr/lib/perl5, then <Module>.pm should also be installed there.
More simply: for modules which use MakeMaker, following the
instructions given in Perl Policy* should yeild the correct result
(barring convolutions in Makefile.PL).
