Hello, Recently, I tried to install a few perl modules I needed, but somehow botched the job. I went to remove my improperly complied modules and succeeded in crippling my perl installation. Now I'm unable to upgrade my system via apt-get, something i did every few days, and was hoping someone would know how I could rebuild my perl installation, preferably through dpkg/dselect/apt. My output from apt-get is both appended below and posted (making it a little easier to read) at chb.orangekids.net/misc/apt-output.txt. if you need any clarification, please ask. Thanks in advance.
