dpkg: error processing perl (--install): 
 subprocess post-installation script returned error exit status 123
Errors were encountered while processing:

Well, what could the problem be? And what is error 123? Where do i find a
list of all these errors? 

Thanx in advance

 Yes, of course.

Looking at the messages posted earlier, I was pretty sure of this myself.

Then I'd suggest putting a bunch of echo statements in 
  /var/lib/dpkg/info/perl.postinst
and run configure through dpkg to track down what is giving you the
problem.
