If you put the debian/rules file somewhere so that we can take a look at
it... it would be much easier :)
Perhaps the install target is not working properly so the resulting
package is mostly empty and dh_perl does not detect any need to add
dependency on perl. I speculate here, please show ys debian/rules :)
BTW, the easiest way to start a perl module's Debian packaging is to use
dh-make-perl[1]
