Upgrades to Debian 11 work because libc6 used to depend on libcrypt1, 
but since circular dependencies are suboptimal it was removed in 
unstable: see #975077.
This /may/ be fixed with adding "Breaks: perl-base (<< 5.32.1-4)" to 
libc6, but the libc6 maintainer has requested that this would be tested 
extensively to show that it does not cause any troubles.
But since skipping releases when upgrading is unsupported this is not 
a priority and somebody will need to volunteer for this work.
