Hi,
If it's only a configuration problem you can try:
dpkg-reconfigure <packagename>

Subject: Re: apt-get probs after perl upgrade
you should use the .debs for perl 5.6 ( perl5.6 AND perl-5.6 are the
packages you want to apt-get) just get those and dpkg should be
fixed. Also note, when you get the error like that you need to scroll up
and also include the errors when it first tries to work on that package,
the error you included doesn't tell me much about what the problem is but
I am guessing it can't find parts of perl it needs. Also try apt-get -f
install (without any extra arguments) to fix try to fix things sometimes.
If the above doesn't work reply and try to include some more error
messages.
