Bug#548950: dh-make-perl: Should check if "sample" is really a directory

[Slaven Rezic]

Package: dh-make-perl
Version: 0.47
Severity: normal

When trying to build Devel::Trace:

$ dh-make-perl --build --cpan Devel::Trace     
[...]
Found: Devel-Trace 0.10 (libdevel-trace-perl arch=all)
[...]
Found examples: sample/*
dh_installexamples sample/*
cp: cannot stat `sample/*': Not a directory
dh_installexamples: command returned error code 256
make: *** [binary-indep] Error 1
make: Leaving directory `/tmp/Devel-Trace-0.10'
Cannot create deb package

Looking into the distribution I see a sample file, not a directory:

-rwxr-xr-x  1 eserte eserte   206 1998-07-19 02:20 sample

So I guess there is a "-d" check missing in the code.

Regards,
    Slaven
