Yes, the binary perl modules that are already recompiled. That's where
apt-get upgrade is very good, upgrade will never install packages
that depend on packages that are not yet installed ...

Good, you can also include Joseph Carter patch for dpkg-buildpackage ...

That's possible, but maybe not better, instead of having people
complain because of the removal of perl dependent packages we
would have people complaining because of errors like this :
$ perl -MMD5 -e 'print "hello"'
Can't locate loadable object for module MD5 in @INC (@INC contains: /usr/lib/perl5/5.005/i386-linux /usr/lib/perl5/5.005 /usr/local/lib/site_perl/i386-linux /usr/local/lib/site_perl /usr/lib/perl5 .) at -e line 0
