Ok, a more accurate answer: Long.pm exists in the perl-5.004, and the perl-5.005 packages. Note you have perl-5.004 installed, but not perl-5.005 (altho you do have the -base package - buts its not in the base part.). The make-kpkg is looking specifically for the 5.005 version of that file. I don't know if you can convince it to look at the 5.004 path, but you should be able to install perl-5.005 no problems, seeing you already have the 5.005-base there.
