you have to patch and compile perl 5.10 yourself, the patch is  
described here

http://www.nntp.perl.org/group/perl.perl5.changes/2008/02/msg21106.html

download perl5.10 (http://www.cpan.org/src/perl-5.10.0.tar.gz),
before ./Configure patch file toke.c (toplevel) line 692

#else
     parser->nexttoke = 0;
#endif
+    parser->error_count = oparser ? oparser->error_count : 0;
     parser->copline = NOLINE;
     parser->lex_state = LEX_NORMAL;
     parser->expect = XSTATE;

that's it, ./Confiure;make . I don't know if there's a deb-file of a  
patched perl around...
