I had a similar problem once. You can grab the perl debs and install them manually with dpkg or get the perl sources and compile it yourself, assuming you installed the development tools. The debian install is very dependent upon perl and if it gets hosed your hosed. Unfortunately perl seems to get broken more than it's fair share. Fred
