I am having trouble reproducing this.

With exactly the same command line as above (and verborse:1 in 
dh-make-perl.conf) I get:

Needs the following debian packages: libsub-exporter-perl, libpath-tiny-perl, perl (>= 5.10.1), libmodule-runtime-perl, libclass-tiny-perl (>= 0.010)
= Module::Build >= 0.4007 is in core since 5.19.3
  ! perl (>= 5.19.3) is too new. Adding alternative dependency
= IPC::Open3 is in core since 5.0.0
= File::Temp is in core since 5.6.1
= FindBin is in core since 5.3.70
+ Test::Fatal found in libtest-fatal-perl
= IO::Handle is in core since 5.3.70
= Test::More >= 0.98 is in core since 5.13.11
= File::Spec is in core since 5.4.50

Needs the following debian packages during building: libmodule-build-perl (>= 0.4007) | perl (>= 5.19.3), perl (>= 5.13.11), libtest-fatal-perl

Any clues for reproducing?
