I must not have the right sources.list then. I have
deb ftp://bytekeeper.as28747.net/amd64/jgoerzen/amd64 sid main
deb http://people.debian.org/~jgoerzen/amd64/ sid main
And there, there is only perl-base. Perl is there, but it depends on
perl-modules, which is missing, and is thus uninstallable.

I'm willing to try, but I'd be surprised that not having a /etc/hosts
gets Perl to barf on floating point numbers :)
