Perl-base has a versioned conflict to perl, ie it conflicts only with
sufficiently old perl. So, your perl is too old for perl-base.
Can you tell me which versions of perl and perl-base you have selected
and which versions you have installed? How were you trying to install
the new ones, with dselect or by hand, or with apt?
