  Description     : PACKAGE perlapi-5.6.1 NOW MISSING IN SARGE

(Include the long description here.)

perlapi-5.6.1 is a package that disappeared from the sarge 
distribution after rollout of perl 5.8.0 and needs to be
re-created.  Various packages like apt-file depend on it
indirectly, and apt-get refuses to install them.  Bug reports
have been marked resolved, but they are not resolved.  This
needs to be a dummy package pointing to the components of
perl 5.8.0 that satisfy the dependencies, or it just needs
to be reinstated in the interest of backwards compatibility.
