I have a machine on which I just did a clean install from the 0.9 release
CD, and then upgraded all installed packages from the more-packages dir.
Installed various other debs from the CD and web also.

slab:/usr/src/wget# apt-get -b source wget

Need to get 722kB of source archives.
Get:1 http://http.us.debian.org unstable/main wget 1.6-2 (dsc) [713B]
Get:2 http://http.us.debian.org unstable/main wget 1.6-2 (tar) [671kB]
Get:3 http://http.us.debian.org unstable/main wget 1.6-2 (diff) [50.4kB]                                                                   
dpkg-source: extracting wget in wget-1.6                                                                                                   
dpkg-buildpackage: source package is wget
dpkg-buildpackage: source version is 1.6-2
dpkg-buildpackage: source maintainer is Nicolás Lichtmaier <nick@debian.org>
dpkg-buildpackage: build architecture is hppa

etc.  had to edit debian/rules to add --host=hppa-linux
to the configure line, but after that it builds ok.

The perl5 problem should be solved by the new version of apt
that is on the CD.  perl provides perl5, but the old apt you
(probably) have doesn't understand that.
