I had a similar problem once. You can grab the perl debs and
install them manually with dpkg or get the perl sources and
compile it yourself, assuming you installed the development
tools. The debian install is very dependent upon perl and if
it gets hosed your hosed. Unfortunately perl seems to get
broken more than it's fair share.
