Package: dh-make-perl
Version: 0.47
Tags: patch
dh-make-perl looks in the working directory for files containing
copyright information. If a different source directory is specified
on the command line, it doesn't find the copyright information in that
directory. For example,
$ wget -q
http://search.cpan.org/CPAN/authors/id/P/PJ/PJF/IPC-System-Simple-0.15.tar.gz
$ tar xzf IPC-System-Simple-0.15.tar.gz
$ dh-make-perl IPC-System-Simple-0.15
Found: IPC-System-Simple 0.15 (libipc-system-simple-perl arch=all)
Using maintainer: Matt Kraai <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
Found changelog: Changes
Found docs: README
Found examples: examples/*
Using rules: /usr/share/dh-make-perl/rules.MakeMaker.noxs

If you are building this package for your personal use, you might disregard
this information; however, if you intend to upload this package to Debian
(or in general, if you plan on distributing it), you must look into the
complete copyright information.
The causes for this warning are:
No licensing information

The attached patch fixes this problem by looking for the copyright
information in files relative to the source directory (i.e.,
$maindir). I've verified that it works in both of the above cases.
