Yours might be simply an upgrade question, but if you need
the latest, greatest(?) perl, you can use perlbrew[1] to
install multiple versions of perl in your home directory.
This avoids problems of what the Debian system expects for
its purposes. Also, local::lib[2] allows you to install modules in
your home directory of different (generally later) versions
than are available through Debian packages.
