This is expected at the moment; all the packages depending on perlapi-5.10.0 and libperl5.10 will need rebuilding for the new perl, which will of course happen once it hits unstable. Work on this is currently in progress. At a pinch you may find <http://lists.alioth.debian.org/pipermail/perl-maintainers/2011-February/001699.html> useful but please heed the warnings therein; unless you have a really urgent need I recommend waiting until it's available in unstable.
