The deb size is not the installed size.

BTW, here's what Martyn J. Pearce (the original author) said on
http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.lang.perl.modules.class-methodmaker/14/focus=15

  It's not your fault, and it's difficult to fix. Essentially, it's
  templated code; the source is the template, hence the small size,
  and it's expanded on install. It is undesirable I grant, but it's
  too keep compilation time down, and it's difficult to do on demand
  because the client is typically running as different user to the
  installer.
