Install Perl modules from CPAN as packages

afunaStarted from these instructions, but some modules try to install files into /usr/lib, which causes an error about being unable bto overwrite. I ran into this while trying to install a later version of Net::OpenID::Server/Net::OpenID::Consumer, in particular.
One solution is to force the install, but I don't know what other effect that could have.
The better solution is in this comment with similar but slightly different series of steps, from debian-administration.org.
(Note: in case it wasn't clear -- I had to figure it out through trial and error -- the rules.MakeMaker.noxs you're editing is the one in ~/.dh-make-perl)
So far so good; about to try it out.
ETA: Works!
