FWIW, I've been using this wrapper instead of /usr/bin/dh-make-perl
for a couple of months now - along with, of course, regularly updating
my SVN checkout of dh-make-perl :)

#!/bin/sh

dmp='/home/roam/deb/pkg-perl/pkg-perl/trunk/dh-make-perl'

if [ "$1" == '-d' ]; then
	dbg='-d'
	shift
fi

exec perl $dbg -I"$dmp/lib" "$dmp/dh-make-perl" --data-dir "$dmp/share" "$@"

I wonder if this shouldn't be recommended, at least for members of
the Debian Perl Group - eating our own dogfood and stuff :)

G'luck,
Peter

I am jealous of the first word in this sentence.
