NAME

6       dh_perl - calculates Perl dependencies and cleans up after MakeMaker
7

SYNOPSIS

9       dh_perl [debhelper options] [-d] [library dirs ...]
10

DESCRIPTION

12       dh_perl is a debhelper program that is responsible for generating the
13       ${perl:Depends} substitutions and adding them to substvars files.
14
15       The program will look at Perl scripts and modules in your package, and
16       will use this information to generate a dependency on perl or perlapi.
17       The dependency will be substituted into your package's control file
18       wherever you place the token ${perl:Depends}.
19
20       dh_perl also cleans up empty directories that MakeMaker can generate
21       when installing Perl modules.
22

OPTIONS

24       -d  In some specific cases you may want to depend on perl-base rather
25           than the full perl package. If so, you can pass the -d option to
26           make dh_perl generate a dependency on the correct base package.
27           This is only necessary for some packages that are included in the
28           base system.
29
30           Note that this flag may cause no dependency on perl-base to be
31           generated at all. perl-base is Essential, so its dependency can be
32           left out, unless a versioned dependency is needed.
33
34       -V  By default, scripts and architecture independent modules don't
35           depend on any specific version of perl. The -V option causes the
36           current version of the perl (or perl-base with -d) package to be
37           specified.
38
39       library dirs
40           If your package installs Perl modules in non-standard directories,
41           you can make dh_perl check those directories by passing their names
42           on the command line. It will only check the vendorlib and
43           vendorarch directories by default.
