Hi Cristian, Hi Gregor I was neither able to reproduce the error by installing a squeeze system, installing libmodule-corelist-perl. Then upgrade to wheezy and purging libmodule-corelist-perl.

This correspond around the day before 5.14.1-2 was uploaded to experimental. perl 5.14.2-3 was then uploaded to unstable on 2011-11-13. Cristian, did you have at some point perl installed from experimental? As said I cannot reproduce the issue by toing a squeeze->wheezy upgrade, and afterwards removing libmodule-corelist-perl.
