The perl that you built from source does not have the full @INC path that
is built into debian's perl, so most debian packages will probably not
work. In other words, you've screwed your system.
perl -V is supposed to list the following @INC:
@INC:
/usr/local/lib/perl/5.6.1
/usr/local/share/perl/5.6.1
/usr/lib/perl5
/usr/share/perl5
/usr/lib/perl/5.6.1
/usr/share/perl/5.6.1
/usr/local/lib/site_perl
/usr/lib/perl5/5.6
/usr/lib/perl5/5.005
