Re: messed up stable install
john-
you ever get a response to this? perl uses an internal array to
represent the directories in its search path, and you can add to it by
setting the PERL5LIB environment variable in the .bashrc for root (or
whatever userid under which you want to execute perl, for that matter).
track down the location of Debian.pm, then add
export PERL5LIB='/whatever/path'
to the .bashrc for root. (assuming, of course, that you are running
the bash shell). that should do the trick. log in as root and finish
off the installation with apt-get -f install.

Thanks for the response and sorry about the lack of pertinent
information.
I don't have the error messages with me but they were related to Perl
not being able to find certain modules in @INC. It appears that I have
some abortion of different Perl versions installed or partially
installed.
I will collect the error messages this evening and post them.
