ls -ld /usr/lib/perl/5.8
drwxr-xr-x  27 root root 4096 2006-02-20 15:02 /usr/lib/perl/5.8/

Shouldn't this have been fixed with dpkg --force-overwrite? At least
with purging the package and reinstalling it?

I made a symlink now:
ls -ld /usr/lib/perl/5.8
lrwxrwxrwx  1 root root 5 2006-02-21 10:46 /usr/lib/perl/5.8 -> 5.8.7/
and that fixed the problem.
