Thanks! Changing my PATH didn't help. Can you direct me to instructions for downloading perl directly from my mirror it would be much appreciated.

    This is purely a Debian OS issue and not at all related to Perl. Go to http://packages.debian.org, find the packages and download/install them.

      Thanks! I'm sorry if this is out of topic for this forum, I write here because it's the best forum out there. Anyway, when installing perl .deb packages, I can install perl-base but perl says it's dependant on perl-modules and perl-modules says it's dependant on perl. How to get around this?

        Maybe you can list them both at once? This, again, is a question much better answered by your system administrator or Debian / Ubuntu specialists. This is not a forum for Debian / Ubuntu specialists.
