20 !!DESCRIPTION
21
22
23 dh_perl is a debhelper program that is responsible for
24 generating the ${perl:Depends} substitutions and adding them
25 to substvars files.
26
27
28 The program will look at perl scripts and modules in your
29 package, and will use this information to generate a
30 dependency. The dependency will be substituted into your
31 package's control file wherever you place the token
32 ``${perl:Depends}''.
33 !!OPTIONS
34
35
36 __-d__
37
38
39 In some specific cases you may want to depend on perl-base
40 rather than the full perl package. If so, you can pass the
41 -d option to make dh_perl generate a dependency on the
42 correct base package. This is only necessary for some
43 packages that are included in the base system.
44
45
46 __-V__
47
48
49 By default, scripts and architecture independent modules
50 don't depend on any specific version of perl. The -V option
51 causes the current version of the perl (or perl-base with
52 -d) package to be specified.
53
54
55 ''library dirs''
56
57
58 If your package installs perl modules in non-standard
59 directories, you can make dh_perl check those directories by
60 passing their names on the command line. It will only check
61 the vendorlib and vendorarch directories by
62 default.
