This is expected at the moment; all the packages depending on
perlapi-5.10.0 and libperl5.10 will need rebuilding for the new perl,
which will of course happen once it hits unstable. Work on this is
currently in progress.
At a pinch you may find
<http://lists.alioth.debian.org/pipermail/perl-maintainers/2011-February/001699.html>
useful but please heed the warnings therein; unless you have a really
urgent need I recommend waiting until it's available in unstable.
Dominic.
