try

apt-get install perl-base perl-modules

also check to be sure this line is in /etc/apt/sources.list:
deb http://security.debian.org stable/updates main contrib non-free

if it is not, put it in, and run

apt-get update
apt-get upgrade

(run apt-get update even if it is in there)

that should fix the problem
