How to find (Debian / Ubuntu / ...) packages that provide the required Perl modules

I found that installing native Debian or Ubuntu Perl packages is often more reliable and convenient than manually installing Perl modules through cpanm(especially for XS modules). Is there an easy way to find these modules given the list of required Perl modules? The most convenient way would be to display a cpanfile , e.g.

requires 'XML::LibXSLT', '1.78';

to the list of distributions and packages that provide modules for different target platforms:

XML::LibXSLT, Ubuntu 13.04, libxml-libxslt-perl, 1.78
XML::LibXSLT, Ubuntu 13.10, libxml-libxslt-perl, 1.78
XML::LibXSLT, Ubuntu 14.04, libxml-libxslt-perl, 1.84
XML::LibXSLT, Debian squeeze, libxml-libxslt-perl, 1.70
XML::LibXSLT, Debian wheezy, libxml-libxslt-perl, 1.77
XML::LibXSLT, Debian jessie, libxml-libxslt-perl, 1.92
XML::LibXSLT, Debian sid, libxml-libxslt-perl, 1.92

PS: I think that information can somehow be found from the package repositories of each distribution, for example. http://packages.ubuntu.com/ and https://packages.debian.org , but is there a script solution that already does this search?

On Debian based systems, install the package dh-make-perland try

dh-make-perl locate XML::LibXSLT

My LMDE field displays:

== dh-make-perl 0.80 ==

XML::LibXSLT is in libxml-libxslt-perl package
