The only reasonable way to do this is to set up a dedicated chroot for it where you can spare the packages that you would normally use. > # aptitude -t experimental install ~i~nperl > The following packages will be upgraded: > perl perl-base perl-doc perl-modules > 4 packages upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 89 not upgraded. > The following packages have unmet dependencies: > libcrypt-ssleay-perl: Depends: perlapi-5.10.0 which is a virtual package. > libparams-validate-perl: Depends: perlapi-5.10.1 which is a virtual package. > liblocale-gettext-perl: PreDepends: perlapi-5.10.0 which is a virtual > package. > libperl5.10: Depends: perl-base (= 5.10.1-17) but 5.12.3-1 is to be > installed. > libunicode-string-perl: Depends: perlapi-5.10.0 which is a virtual package. > etc. > > It gets tangled up with too many paths perl-base -> perlapi-* etc. Yes, there are hundreds of packages which depend on perlapi-5.10* and which become uninstallable when you replace perl 5.10 with perl 5.12. A possible way out of this would be some Ubuntu-style PPA with packages rebuilt against perl 5.12, but currently Debian lacks such infrastructure, unfortunately.
