Lucas' packaging tutorial is indeed a good start into Debian
packaging (and even has a small perl part, hopefully still working):
https://www.debian.org/doc/devel-manuals#packaging-tutorial
For the Perl Group specific documentation, you can start at
https://wiki.debian.org/Teams/DebianPerlGroup/Welcome and follow the
links there, e.g. to https://perl-team.pages.debian.net/
