Same problem here. After trying to install it with dpkg, I runned the postinst script manually with the 'configure' parameter. Then I edited the /var/lib/dpkg/status file, in the perl package section changed the line install ok not-configured to install ok installed and deleted the line which read configured version: previous_package_version_here (or something like that) This kludge fooled dpkg into thinking that perl was ok (and I think it really is ok, haven't had any problems) and I could move on to the other packages. My excuse for doing it is that I don't know deb package internals and didn't have the previous libc6 perl pack. anymore.
