Sounds like you may have some odd preferences set somewhere.

My suggestion would be to follow this exactly:

  http://www.debian.org/releases/sarge/i386/release-notes/ch-upgrading.en.html

aptitude is the preferred method for upgrade, rather than apt-get.

If you're having problems with sid, comment out all your non-sarge
sources and delete (rename) /etc/apt/preferences until after you
upgrade.

If you are tracking perl from sid, you may need to downgrade it to avoid
problems, though with perl that might be dangerous.
