Re: problem with perl in unstable
Just as a guess: have you installed perl 5.6.0 on this machine from
source? If so, you'll need to provide access to the older 5.005_03
libraries for some of the apt scripts to work. I used some symlinks
within the /usr/lib/perl5/5.6.0 directory to point to libraries in
/usr/lib/perl5/5.005, which works (albeit not elegantly).
do a perl -V to get the contents of @INC (which holds the directories
that will be searched by perl looking for modules) and see if the files
listed in the error messages below appear in that path.
Cheers,
Andy Perrin
