"locate" found nothing matching "dh-make".

trying

	http://packages.debian.org/dh-make

shows three items (one for stable, one for testing, one for
unstable) which are all "dh-make" but apparently have nothing to
do with this cpan-interference-runner "dh-make-perl". 

care to elaborate for us ignorami what exactly dh-make-perl
is, and where to get it?

DEBIAN NEWBIE TIP #46 from Will Trillich <will@serensoft.com> 
:
Troubled by MAC-FORMAT TEXT FILES? There are many ways
to translate CR to LF. VIM can help, with these steps:
	:set ffs=mac
	:e!
	:set ff=unix
(":opt" for more info) and then save/write the file;
in perl, this'll do the trick:
	perl -pi.mac -l12 -015 -e ';' filename*pattern.txt
(that's a <hyphen-el-one-two> and <hyphen-zero-one-five>, by
the way -- see "perldoc perlrun" for more info.)
