Imho it really should do that if it doesn't yet. You should list the included modules in the (long) description, "apt-cache search WWW::Curl" or "apt-cache search Curl::Easy" should find the module.

Perhaps you could note that while it might look strange from the outside the *consistent* name-mangling actually makes it very easy to find the respective module for the users. cu andreas
It would probably be easier for th users if the name-mangling yielded "libperl-curl-easy" or "libperl-www-curl" instead of the current one...
...any reasons for doing it otherwise i have overlooked ?
