First, aptitude will downgrade packages, so you could try downgrading the perl module. Second, if you go to a Debian mirror with ftp and look in the pool/main/w/whatever directory, replacing /w/whatever with the correct first letter and package name respectively, you might be able to download the .deb package directly. Finally, you can go to Debian snapshots and pick any date and release which will let you downgrade that way, such as Lenny for a month ago. I think the url is http://snapshots.debian.net/ but that might not be right. It was just recently posted here. You might also check the Ubuntu archives as well if you don't want to use a snapshot archive.
