Did you run "apt-get update" first?
The other thing that comes to mind is to comment out the
non-testing/sarge lines in /etc/apt/sources.list, run
apt-get check
apt-get update
apt-get clean
apt-get -f install
and then try
apt-get install perl
NOTE: If you've got packages installed from sid or experimental, I
have no idea what this will do to them. It might try to remove or
downgrade them. If they're not critical, you might want to allow this
and then re-install them from the appropriate place when your system
is in a happier state.
If this is too drastic, you might just want to try the above with the
sources.list you have currently.
