The only reasonable way to do this is to set up a dedicated chroot for
it where you can spare the packages that you would normally use.

Yes, there are hundreds of packages which depend on perlapi-5.10* and
which become uninstallable when you replace perl 5.10 with perl 5.12. A
possible way out of this would be some Ubuntu-style PPA with packages
rebuilt against perl 5.12, but currently Debian lacks such
infrastructure, unfortunately.
