It is from unstable.

But wait, do you mean, you currently don't have perl installed? Equivs
needs perl (not only perl-base) for its operation.

So install the perl package. Build your fake package that provides
perl, install it, deinstall the Debian perl package (I think you have
perl in /usr/local, no?).
