Well, not to drift off-topic but it is my
understanding that it is general Debian policy to
have the documentation as separate packages. Not
all machines that *run* perl are used for
*development* with perl.

And perl-doc is not that hard to find anyway:

$ aptitude show perl | grep '^Recommends'
Recommends: perl-doc, netbase
