When trying to

Code Sample
apt-get install perl-modules


I get the following error:

[CODE]perl-modules: Depends: perl (>=5.6.1-1_ but it is not going to be installed)[/CODE}

yet perl -V returns :perl 5.8.0

I thought this might be a generic debian 'thing' but I can't find anything on google relating to this.

Can anyone help?,

What version of perl-base do you have?  

dpkg --list | grep perl-base

perl-base      5.8.0-15

(i.e the standard one that comes with dsl). When I tired to remove it (because I couldn't work out how to upgrade a .deb!?!) it warmed me it was something serious and wanted to remove what I would consider was the 'base' system. I can paste the excat text if it helps? I used the following command:

'apt-get remove perl-base'

I saw the same problem RH 9 -- install script screws up and assigns bad value to perl version no matter what you have installed. You've done your homework, so you could use apt-get to d/l the perl-modules package, and dpkg to force install. I think the command is something like:
Code Sample
dpkg -i --force-configure-any <package name>.deb
