+dh_perl - calculates perl dependencies and cleans up after MakeMaker

perlapi. The dependency will be substituted into your package's control
file wherever you place the token "${perl:Depends}".
+dh_perl also cleans up empty directories that MakeMaker can generate when
+installing perl modules.

=head1 OPTIONS
=over 4
a dependency on the correct base package. This is only necessary for some
packages that are included in the base system.
+Note that this flag may cause no dependency on perl-base to be generated at
+all. perl-base is Essential, so its dependency can be left out, unless a
+versioned dependency is needed.

=item B<-V>
By default, scripts and architecture independent modules don't depend
