dh_perl can't find the Perl modules, because they were installed into 
wrong directory:

$ dpkg -c libsbml5-perl_5.10.0+dfsg-1_amd64.deb | grep -E '[.](pm|so)$'
-rw-r--r-- root/root  14460736 2014-09-11 13:31 ./usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.20.0/x86_64-linux-gnu-thread-multi/auto/libSBML/LibSBML.so
-rw-r--r-- root/root   2688864 2014-09-11 12:22 ./usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.20.0/x86_64-linux-gnu-thread-multi/LibSBML.pm

But the correct place to install arch-specific Perl modules is:

$ perl -MConfig -E'say $Config{vendorarch}'
/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/perl5/5.20
