I had quite similar problems. My installation procedure didn't find dpkg-perl at all on the cd's. Finally I used dpkg -i to install that first before using dselect. I used resc-floppy to install the base first.
For some reason dselect couldn't find dpkg-perl at all. It existed anyway on the right directory. By the way, where did you buy your cd's?
