Bug#657274: perl: please add a Homepage field pointing to upstream website

[Jonathan Nieder]

Source: perl
Version: 5.14.2-6
Severity: wishlist
Tags: patch

Hi,

I was looking for links to the latest upstream version of perl and its
bugtracker.  Usually the page pointed to by the Homepage field in the
Sources entry for a package works for that purpose.  Alas, the perl
package doesn't have a Homepage field.

How about this patch?
