We can't manage something like that, we must switch to perl-5.005 right
now.
Developers can install perl-5.005, compile their package, upload them
and then remove perl-5.005 again until everything is upgraded.
Or, FYI :
~@p200$ dpkg -l perl-5.005
ii perl-5.005 5.005.03-0.8 Larry Wall's Practical Extracting and Report
~@p200$ sudo apt-get -f install

I simply edited by hand /var/lib/dpkg/status and remove the conflicts to perl
in 5.005 status information ... :) Simple but effective hack.
