Hmm. For some reason, it wants perl-5.005-base to be on that line as
well. I'm not quite sure why.
>apt-get install perl-5.005 perl-5.005-base
works correctly.
I'm not quite sure this happens though. perl-5.005 should just pull
perl-5.005-base in automatically. I've cc'ed apt@packages.debian.org
for an answer. I've also included the appropriate lines out of the
Packages file.
The line in question was:
deb http://www.daft.com/pub/debian/experimental ./
The entries in the Packages file are:

Description: Larry Wall's Practical Extracting and Report Language.
An interpreted scripting language, known among some as "Unix's
Swiss Army Chainsaw".
.
Perl is optimized for scanning arbitrary text files and system
administration. It has built-in extended regular expression matching
and replacement, a dataflow mechanism to improve security with
setuid scripts and is extendable via modules that can interface
to C libraries.
.
Note that this supplements perl-base, providing the full Perl
distribution.

A scripting language with delusions of full language-hood, Perl is used
in many system scripts and utilities.
.
This is a stripped down Perl with only essential libraries. To make
full use of Perl, you'll want to install the 'Perl' package which
supplements this one.
