The thing is, I did not install the new version of perl, dist-upgrade/do-release-upgrade did that for me.
If i try to remove perl 5.12.4 the package manager will wipe out several other packages and most likely kill the server in the process.
Last resort solution would be to completly reinstall the system, but there are a dosen websites depending on it along with a few terabytes of data.
Perlbrew didn't help, attempting to remove perl 5.12.4 will break the system, trying to fiddle with perl 5.10.1 will also likely break the system.
I'll have to reconsider these facts for now.

Thanks everyone for your input.
Best regards and have a nice weekend!
Jimmy
