It would be very nice to apt-get perl in the next distribution. I cannot apt-get anything that depends on it

you sure that works?
I change source to testing, apt-get update, apt-get install perl. It complains about tar cannot remove directory. I am using the latest dsl

It works on an older version 0.5.3.1
Ah well, I will just use that.
I wonder what happen to 0.6

The "tar file is a directory" error is due to a bug in the busybox version of the tar. If you'll read < this thread > (sixth entry) you should get the answer you're looking for.
