-=item B<--desc> I<SHORT DESCRIPTION>
-
-Uses the argument to --desc as short description for the package.
-
 =item B<--arch> I<any> | I<all>
 
 This switches between arch-dependent and arch-independet packages. If B<--arch>
 isn't used, B<dh-make-perl> uses a relatively good-working algorithms to
 decide this alone.
 
-=item B<--version> I<VERSION>
-
-Specifies the version of the resulting package.
-
-=item B<--email> | B<-e> I<EMAIL>
-
-Manually specify the Maintainer email address to use in debian/control and
-in debian/changelog.
-
-=item B<--packagename> | B<-p> I<PACKAGENAME>
-
-Manually specify the Package Name, useful when the module has dashes in its
-name.
+=item B<--basepkgs>
+
+Explicitly gives a comma-separated list of packages to consider "base"
+packages (i.e. packages that should always be available in Debian
+systems). This option defaults to C<perl,perl-base,perl-modules> - It
+is used to check for module dependencies. If a needed module is in the
+C<basepkgs>, it won't be mentioned in the C<depends:> field of
+C<debian/control>.
+
+If this option is specified, the above mentioned default packages will
+not be included (but will be mentioned as explicit dependencies in the
+resulting package). You can, of course, mention your own modules
+and explicitly specify the default values.
+
+Note that this option should be used sparsingly and with care, as it
+might lead to packages not being rebuildable because of unfulfilled
+dependencies.
+
+=item B<--bdepends> I<BUILD-DEPENDS>
+
+Manually specify the string to be used for the module's build-dependencies
+(that is, the packages and their versions that have to be installed in order to
+successfully build the package). Keep in mind that packages generated by
+dh-make-perl require debhelper to be specified as a build dependency. Same note
+as for --depends applies here - Use only when needed.
+
+=item B<--bdependsi> I<BUILD-DEPENDS-INDEP>
+
+Manually specify the string to be used for the module's build-dependencies
+for architecture-independent builds. Same notes as those for the --depends 
+and --bdepends options apply here.
+
+Note that for --depends, --bdepends and --bdependsi you can also specify that
+the field should not appear in debian/rules (if you really mean it, of course
+;-) ) by giving it an empty string as an argument.
+
+=item B<--build>
+
+Builds the package after setting it up.
+
+NB: This builds only a binary package (by calling "fakeroot debian/rules
+binary") and does not sign the package. It is meant for a quick local
+install of a package, not for creating a package ready for submission to the
+Debian archive.
 
 =item B<--closes> I<ITPBUG>
 
 Manually specify the ITP bug number that this package closes. If not 
 given, dh-make-perl will try to connect to bugs.debian.org to fetch the 
 appropriate bug number, using WWW::Mechanize.
+
+=item B<--core-ok>
+
+Allows building core Perl modules. By default, dh-make-perl will not allow
+building a module that is shipped as part of the standard Perl library; by
+specifying this option, dh-make-perl will build them anyway.
+
+Note that, although it is not probable, this might break unrelated items in 
+your system - If a newer version of a core module breaks the API, all kinds
+of daemons might get upset ;-)
+
+=item --cpan I<DIST>
+
+Instructs dh-make-perl to fetch and extract the given CPAN distribution.
+
+=item B<--cpan-mirror> I<MIRROR>
+
+Specifies a CPAN site to use as mirror.
+
+=item B<--data-dir directory>
+
+Use another data directory, instead of the default, C</usr/share/dh-make-perl>
+
+Data directory is were B<dh-make-perl> looks for its default rules.* templates.
+It is similar to B<--home-dir>, but does not change the location of the APT
+Contents cache file. If both are given, B<--home-dir> takes precedence.
