You should file a bug report against the pdl package.

The problem dh-make-perl has is that upstream .tar.gz includes a debian/
directory. This should be reported upstream. debian/ directories are no
good if present in the upstream-distributed archive.
Meanwhile, you should either use the present debian/ directory,
therefore no need to use dh-make-perl at all:
cd PDL-2.4.3; dpkg-buildpackage
or remove it and run dh-make-perl with a directory argument:
rm -r PDL-2.4.3/debian; dh-make-perl --build PDL-2.4.3
