I was attempting to upgrade Template Toolkit on Debian to 2.19 to take

I found it strange that this package requires perl 5.8.8 but Template
Toolkit itself does not.
Debian bases it's dependancies on the version of debian you are
running. The latest libtemplate-perl is available in 'testing' and
the verison of perl in 'testing' is perl 5.8.8.
You can sometimes find packages on backports.org that rebuild the
package for older debian distributions, but it is unlikely that
libtemplate-perl will be on there.
The simple solution is to just build your own debian package of
libtemplate-perl. It is really quite easy since debian provides a
tool called 'dh-make-perl' which does it all for you.
I wrote my own wrapper around dh-make-perl that also builds all of the
dependancies of the module you ask for that can not already be found
in the debian repository, and then automatically uploads the new
debian files to our inhouse debian repository.
Cheers,
