    rpm -e perl-CGI perl-CPAN perl-DB_File --nodeps
    rpm -ivh /var/cache/apt/archives/perl_5.8.1-92_i386.rpm
    apt-get dist-upgrade

For whatever reason, those perl modules were pulled back into the main
perl package.

So far I haven't noticed any other issues with the upgrade.  (Oh,
except *ALWAYS* upgrade rpm *BEFORE* rebooting into one of the nptl
kernels.  Bad things happen if you don't.)
