Hello monks!
I have a problem using apt-get and I think it's because system perl is broken:

sudo dpkg -l | grep -v ^ii

Unfourtunately in swedish. It says "bad action" or something similar.

So apparently system perl is broken in some way. Can I reinstall using dpkg? In that case, how do I do? Thank you.
