Installing woody's debs for X on a stable system doesn't sound like a
good idea as I imagine they would have dependencies which could not be
met by your present setup.
XFree86 4.1.0 .debs for Debian 2.2 are available by following the
obvious link on

I would suggest you return your machine to its previous unsullied 2.2r4
state as upgrading perl involves upgrading libc6. By the time you get
that far you may as well install woody on your laptop.
