 Some example commands to build Debian packages of Perl modules, using Dh-make-perl.
+==== Installing dh-make-perl ====
+  apt-get install dh-make-perl build-essential apt-file
+  apt-file update # Needed to build packages with correct dependencies listed
+==== Standard package build from CPAN ====
+  PERL_MM_OPT='NO_PACKLIST=1 NO_PERLLOCAL=1' cpan2deb HTML::Parse
+==== Building a package and all dependencies ====
+The following command is the "super" option to build and install everything needed for a particular package. It will install any dependencies needed if they already exist as packages, if not it will build them as well.
+  PERL_MM_OPT='NO_PACKLIST=1 NO_PERLLOCAL=1' cpan2deb --core-ok  --install  --install-deps --install-build-deps --recursive  CSS::Object
+==== Specifying a revision ====
+The revision of a package can be specified as follows. This is needed if rebuilding the same version of a module, to ensure uniqueness in package repositories.
+  PERL_MM_OPT='NO_PACKLIST=1 NO_PERLLOCAL=1' cpan2deb  Markdown::Parser --version=0.4.1 --revision=1
+Earlier versions of dh-make-perl appear to have a bug which means that the ''--revision'' flag does not work, in which case the following can be used:
+  PERL_MM_OPT='NO_PACKLIST=1 NO_PERLLOCAL=1' cpan2deb  Markdown::Parser --version=0.4.1-1
+==== Building a more up to date module that is in core ====
+  PERL_MM_OPT='NO_PACKLIST=1 NO_PERLLOCAL=1' cpan2deb  --core-ok Digest::MD5
 ==== Downloading and building a package manually ====
