There are http://alioth.debian.org/projects/pkg-catalyst/ and 
http://alioth.debian.org/projects/pkg-perl

Lots of people in these groups are packaging Perl modules and (more 
importantly maybe) maintaining these packages.

The tool used by the Debian Perl group (and myself whenever I need to package 
a module) is dh-make-perl.

You can also use cpan2dist in CPANPLUS :

    ### build a debian package of DBI and it's prerequisites, 
    ### don't bother running tests
    cpan2dist --format CPANPLUS::Dist::Deb --buildprereq --skiptest DBI
    
    ### build a debian package of DBI and it's prerequisites and install them
    cpan2dist --format CPANPLUS::Dist::Deb --buildprereq --install DBI
