Bug#387135: dh-make-perl: Patch to add append-to-version

[Kjetil Kjernsmo]

Package: dh-make-perl
Version: 0.23
Severity: wishlist
Tags: patch

So, I figured it would be nice to have an option to just append
something to the version string (defaulting to -1) rather than having
to keep track of the CPAN version. So I wrote this patch, which should
take care of that. 

Please ignore the system information. Yeah, my desktop is Ubuntu :-)
