The libc5 to libc6 upgrade isn't that hard, although there are a few
pitfalls.  If you follow the Mini-HOWTO which I just reposted (and which
is available at http://www.gate.net/~storm/FAQ/), you should have few
problems.  You will need to manually install several packages before
installing perl, including the latest versions of the libgdbm1 and
libgdbm1g package from unstable.
