It doesn't seem to work. I created (just for testing, to see if dbconfig
does substitutions) this file:

# local database configuration file:
my db => {
     dsn  =>
'dbi:mysql:database=_DBC_DBNAME;host=_DBC_DBHOST;port=_DBC_DBPORT',
     user => '_DBC_DBUSER',
     pass => '_DBC_DBPASS',
   },

In the postinst i now have:
dbc_first_version="0.6.1-1"
dbc_generate_include="perl:/etc/simba/simba-db.cfg"
dbc_generate_include_owner="root:www-data"
dbc_generate_include_perms="0640"
dbc_generate_include_args="-f template -o
template_infile=/usr/share/doc/simba/simba-cfg.template"
dbc_go simba $@

The result however, is that no substitution takes place, the resulting
file is the same as the template.
