Subject: cvs depends on debconf which depends on (broken) perl 5.6

Package: install
Version: Woody
I tried to install cvs on my laptop using apt-get cvs
apt-get also installed debconf and perl-5.6-base
perl-5.6-base seems to have broken a number of things.
As remedial action, I:
-- removed perl-5.6-base
-- fixed the links from /usr/bin/perl to /etc/alternatives/perl
to /usr/bin/perl5.005
-- deinstalled cvs and debconf; reinstalled debconf-tiny
I can no longer configure anything at all.
In particular, even after deinstalling perl-5.6-base and debconf in
favour of debconf-tiny, I now see:
...
Setting up debconf-tiny (0.2.80.14) ...
Can't locate object method "value" via package "Debconf::Question" at
/usr/lib/perl5/Debian/Debconf/Config.pm line 37
