META.yml, Module::Build and dh-make-perl

Posting here just to keep this knowledge somewhere. To make dh-make-perl work with Module::Build based Perl module distros you need:

• Apply this patch to enable dh-make-perl to retrieve module name and version information from META.yml.
• After running dh-make-perl tweak file debian/rules. Replace

  $(PERL) Makefile.PL INSTALLDIRS=vendor
  $(MAKE) OPTIMIZE="$(OPTIMIZE)" LD_RUN_PATH=""
  

  with

  $(PERL) Build.PL installdirs=vendor
  OPTIMIZE="$(OPTIMIZE)" LD_RUN_PATH="" ./Build
  

  and

  $(MAKE) install PREFIX=$(TMP)/usr
  

  with

  ./Build install destdir=$(TMP)
  

  
  
  

I'd add native Module::Build support to dh-make-perl but this code badly needs refactoring before adding more code.
