I think you might want to be careful about how you include those additional Perl modules. IIRC, they're actually located and maintained on CPAN (http://www.cpan.org), the single largest repository of Perl modules. I don't know what standard Debian and/or Ubuntu practice is for including code from there. Here is a quote from the CPAN FAQ that's probably relevant:

<quote>How do I install Perl modules?

Installing a new module can be as simple as typing perl -MCPAN -e 'install Chocolate::Belgian'. The CPAN.pm documentation has more complete instructions on how to use this convenient tool. If you are uncomfortable with having something take that much control over your software installation, or it otherwise doesn't work for you, the perlmodinstall documentation covers module installation for UNIX, Windows and Macintosh in more familiar terms.

Finally, if you're using ActivePerl on Windows, the PPM (Perl Package Manager) has much of the same functionality as CPAN.pm. </quote>
