Basically, a DD from Debian Perl group should review your work and upload the
package (or get back to you with improvement suggestions)

indicate that your requesting a review.
Also, you should provide links to let people download your work. A link to the
git repo on salsa is enough.

please see https://wiki.debian.org/DebianDeveloper/JoinTheProject
In any case, you need to become familiar with the project and its practices
