[perl] add perldb config / cpanfile for quick environment setup

I recently installed a new Perl from source and I had to go digging to
find the CPAN modules I need to do everyday work as well as my old
Perl debugger config.

This commit adds both of those files, along with some instructions on
how to set everything up.

+# dotfiles/perl
+
+Just a collection of files related to Perl that are useful to me.
+
+Some highlights:
+
+* `.perldb`  -- the Perl debugger config
+* `cpanfile` -- a list of modules I can't live without (and install on any new
+  machine)
+
+## Installation
+
+1. Symlink .perldb to ~/.perldb
+2. Install `cpanm` and run the following:
+
+```sh
+cpanm --installdeps /path/to/dotfiles/perl
+```
