Try to take a look at the /var/lib/dpkg/info/perl.postinst file.
It is executed where this message appears and (in the case of a shell
skript) an:

        sh -x /var/lib/dpkg/info/perl.postinst

may lead you to the source of the problem.  At least the exact command
where this error appears should be noticable.
