But it would not install them.
Perl-base has a versioned conflict to perl, ie it conflicts only with sufficiently old perl. So, your perl is too old for perl-base. Can you tell me which versions of perl and perl-base you have selected and which versions you have installed? How were you trying to install the new ones, with dselect or by hand, or with apt?
