Hi,

when I do "apt-get install perl" I get the following

Sorry, but the following packages have unmet dependencies:
 perl: Depends: perl-base (= 5.6.1-8.3) but 5.8.2-2 is to be installed
E: Sorry, broken packages

How can I fix this?

Try switching the apt list over to testing from stable.

Thanks John, I used "apt-get -t unstable install perl"

Seems to have worked!
