I think there is better way to to stay with Debian packages and have newer perl. 5.8.7 is in testing (etch) and unstable (sid), so you should add in /etc/apt/sources.list testing-lines too. Then in /etc/apt/apt.conf you can choose, which one you prefer as system default, for example:
APT::Default-Release "sarge"; After "apt-get update" you (Neil) can install packages from testing also: apt-get -t testing install perl will replace 5.8.4 with 5.8.7 with all dependencies. -- With best regards, Kõike hääd, G
