I'm afraid you might have to hand-install some parts of perl again (with dpkg -i perl*.deb) Specifically, reinstall the main perl .deb and libnet and possibly dpkg-ftp. If that still doesn't work, try removing the /usr/lib/perl5/IO/Handle.pm file (move it temporarily away to another place where it is not in perl's include path.) I remember that recently there were similar problems with the upgrade to the pre-2.0 (unstable) distribution. It's not really the same situation as with 1.3.1 debian, but it might work for you too. If it doesn't work, feel free to complain rather loudly on this list. Perl is an important package that should not be broken.
