+.SH NAME
+dh_perl \- calculates perl scripts & modules dependencies
+.SH SYNOPSIS
+.B dh_perl
+.I "[debhelper options] [-k]"
+.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-5.00X or perl-5.00X-thread).
+.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.
