My perl-5.005-base is just fine. But I have somehow duplicated module Data:Dumper. Here are the files that are installed: ./usr/lib/perl5/5.005/i386-linux/auto/Data/Dumper ./usr/lib/perl5/5.005/i386-linux/auto/Data/Dumper/Dumper.so ./usr/lib/perl5/5.005/i386-linux/auto/Data/Dumper/Dumper.bs ./usr/lib/perl5/5.005/i386-linux/Data/Dumper.pm <-- ./usr/lib/perl5/5.005/Data/Dumper.pm I have removed the fourth file, and everything seems fine again. Thanks.
