More than likely, the .pl file has a shebang (#!) that points to a
non-existant interpreter.  Either change the:
#!/usr/local/bin/perl
to
#!/usr/bin/perl
or put a symbolic link for compatibility
[prompt]# ln -s /usr/bin/perl /usr/local/bin/perl

The no-start-xdm is not used anymore.  Actually, the whole /etc/X11/config
is no longer used and can be deleted.

To keep xdm from starting, either remove the package...
[prompt]# dpkg --purge xdm

or remove the links in /etc/rc#.d to keep it from starting.

Hope this helps,
