Yeah it certainly looks like you need Perl 5.005 (note the .005 in the path below). I have both 5.004 and 5.005 installed. It's one of the strange things, Perl, as I installed from 2.1 floppy set, then upgraded to Potato, and Perl-Base got really mad at me so I had to forcefully remove it for it to re-install itself happily. It would help to know what dist you are using here - I'm not sure if 5.005 is in slink, its certainly in potato and woody.
Footnote: Did you know apt-get remove has a confirmation step that says: "If you really want to do this, type 'Yes, I understand that this may be bad'". I found that quite hilarious :) It was also the only way I could get Perl 5.004 and 5.005 to co-exist.
