Package: perl
Depends: perl-modules (>= ${source:Version})
achieves that IMHO.

that is higly unlikely since nothing should depends only from
perl-modules. (In fact, IMHO nothing should depends from perl-modules
at all).
so the only way for a user to upgrade perl-modules only is to apt-get
install perl-modules which looks like an awkward thing to do.
moreover:
Package: perl-modules
Conflicts: perl (<< ${source:Version})
looks like achieving what you want.
