note pjf <p> As already mentioned, <tt>dh-make-perl</tt> is probably the command you're after. What hasn't been mentioned is that there's an <a href="http://jeremiahfoster.com/debian/debs-from-cpan.html">excellent draft available</a> of an article that will appear in an upcoming issue of a certain <a href="http://www.theperlreview.com/">magazine</a> that is well worth subscribing to. </p><p> If you're still in need of assistance, the <a href="http://pkg-perl.alioth.debian.org/">Debian Perl Group</a> have a number of resources that can help you, including mailing lists and IRC channels. They're a very friendly bunch. </p><p> If you're impatient, the following code will build a .deb for most well behaved modules, provided you have their dependencies installed: </p> <code> dh-make-perl --build --cpan Some::Module </code> <p> All the best, </p> <!-- Node text goes above.
