Generally, I suggest using debian packages.

Most of the ones you list have packages, I believe.

If you find one that doesn't use dh-make-perl. You can also use db-make-per=
l
if you need a newer version than what is packaged. I did that to get the
most recent SpamAssassin on my box running woody.

dh-make-perl - Create debian packages from perl modules

I use something like the following to locate packages perl modules.

apt-cache search dbi | grep ^lib | grep perl
