Upgrading to perl 5.6 on potato



Basically I need to upgrade to perl 5.6 (or better) on Debian potato,
for a few things (such as GIMP 1.2.1 and parts of KDE 2.1.1). However
judging from here:


http://packages.debian.org/cgi-bin/search_packages.pl?keywords=perl&searchon
=names&version=stable&release=all

the latest version in stable is 5.005.

So how am I supposed to upgrade to a later version of Perl than 5.005,
bearing in mind the dependency mess that I could create. Is there a
pre-built DEB somewhere? Or what else would be the "best" to do?

Cheers,
