I had that in my debian/rules file, but for me it was not working. I  
am not sure why. I still received lintian warnings and then changed  
that line above to this:

        $(PERL) Makefile.PL INSTALLDIRS=vendor MAN3EXT=3  
INSTALLARCHLIB=vendor

and all the lintian warnings stopped. (As you can see I also had  
other lintian warnings as well.)
