Okay, first tell me that you are trying this on a Debian system, or that you
have at least dpkg installed in usr/local somewhere. You need dpkg to run
dpkg-hurd.
Then, a file named perl_*.deb (the perl package of course) needs to be
either in the same directory as cross-install or in the subdirectory
interpreters/.
Then, please tell me what version numbers you have (dpkg-hurd,
cross-install).
Last but not least, you can try to change the dpkg-hurd invocation in
cross-install with "sh -x dpkg-hurd" so we get to see what the problem is.
