Of course you need source. All packages in Debian are built from sources. You can follow all the packaging descriptions for standard packages even if there's nothing to compile (take a look at the developers corner on the web). Your rules file will consist mostly of copying files to the right places. And for perl modules, you usually have to launch a perl Makefile.PL and after that you can use make install. You can find the good lines in the perl policy (http://pandora.debian.org/~hertzog/perl-policy.html). You can also try to take a look a other sources for perl scripts & modules.
