Hehehehehe, I actually figured it out a short bit after asking - I did
have some old perl packages installed (perl-5.005-base, perl-5.005), but
removing them didn't help.
It seems to be a problem with dialog - after apt-getting dialog, I had
some new files under /usr/lib/perl5/.../GetOpt/... (I compared with
another testing box that works - that tree doesn't exist). dpkg -S
confirmed that /usr/lib/perl5 belonged to dialog, so I removed dialog
and installed whiptail instead.
Smooth sailing from there.
Thanks for the help though!
