perl lwp install help requested

I have a small app that was on a machine that died so now using this one. When I try to run it, I get;


Can't locate LWP/Simple.pm in @INC (@INC contains: /etc/perl /usr/local/lib/perl/5.8.0 /usr/local/share/perl/5.8.0 /usr/lib/perl5 /usr/share/perl5 /usr/lib/perl/5.8.0 /usr/share/perl/5.8.0 /usr/local/lib/site_perl .) at ./getdata.pl line 3.
BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at ./getdata.pl line 3.

I am used to yum, thought apt had an aptitude which was a search, but to 'play', I did an apt-get install perl to see what I found and I get;
You might want to run `apt-get -f install' to correct these:

The following packages have unmet dependencies:
liblwp2: Depends: libc6 (>= 2.3.6-6) but 2.3.2.ds1-10 is to be installed
perl: Depends: perl-base (= 5.6.1-8.9) but 5.8.0-18 is to be installed
Depends: perl-modules (>= 5.6.1-8.9) but it is not going to be installed
E: Unmet dependencies. Try 'apt-get -f install' with no packages (or specify a solution).

Before I jump into the -f install, I want to make sure I am headed in the right direction.

Thank you for any reads / suggestions.
