You could try editing your sources.list file:

sudo beaver /etc/apt/sources.list

and change the "oldstable" to "stable".

Then do another apt-get update

Then see if perl/sendmail will install.

ok as far as i can tell sendmail is installed thanks to the previous post, but now i cant seem to get it to work, ive been trying to figure it out all day, ive googled and looked at multiple tutorials and stuff but i still cant get sendmail to work. can anyone tell me step by step what to change to get it to work, all i need it to do is send mail from my forums, im using "inivision power board 1.3 final" and "xampp" for my webserver, before i installed sendmail whenever you sent an email from my forums there was an error but now it says everything is working yet no emails come through. as far as i can see there is no settings to change in the php.ini file for linux installations as opposed to windows where some changes can be made.
maybe i just need a proper sendmail.mc file cause the default one might not meet my requirements but i honestly have wasted so much time and i dont really know enough to sort it out.
any help would be greatly appreatiated.

if it helps im using DSL on a hdd install with 1 network card configured by dhcp to an ADSL router with NAT. ive got DSL running in runlevel 3 so X doesnt start, and ssh and xampp run at startup.

lol so you can see im nearly there but not quite, and having only ever used linux for 1 week i dont think ive done to badly
