-.TH DH_PERL 1 "22 June 1999" "Debhelper Commands" "Debhelper Commands"
-.SH NAME
-dh_perl \- calculates perl scripts & modules dependencies
-.SH SYNOPSIS
-.B dh_perl
-.I "[debhelper options] [-k] [-d] [library dirs ...]"
-.SH "DESCRIPTION"
-dh_perl is a debhelper program that is responsible for generating
-the perl:Depends substitutions and adding them to substvars files.
-.P
-The program will look for the location of installed modules and will
-use this information to generate a dependency (at the present time
-it can only be perl5, perl5-thread, perl-5.X or perl-5.X-thread).
-The dependancy will be substituted into your package's control file
-wherever you place the token "${perl:Depends}".
-.P
-It will also look at #! lines of perl scripts in order to be able
-to calculate a dependency for perl scripts and not only perl modules.
-.P
-In addition it will automatically remove .packlist file and will
-remove the directory in which it was if it's empty. You can
-switch off this option by passing -k.

-the -d option to make

-for some modules that are included in the base system.
-.TP
-.B library dirs
-If your package installs perl modules in non-standard
-directories, you can make
-.BR dh_perl
-check those directories by passing their names on the command line.
-.BR dh_perl
-will only check usr/lib/perl5 by default.
