I had a minor fight with my Debian upgrade, due to my unruly mix of
testing and unstable and some packages I had on hold from old times.  I
have now upgraded everything to perl 5.8.

Thanks a lot for the packages.  I'm really looking forward to playing

BTW, I just downloaded the two debs and installed with "dpkg -i", but
that shouldn't make any differences.  I generally dislike having too
many un-official entries in my sources.list.
