perldoc install on VM

I'm trying to install perldoc onto the VM as described in the
tutorial. But I am not having any success. Bellow is the end result.
Thanks in advance!

root [at] catalys:~# apt-get install perl-doc
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
Package perl-doc is not available, but is referred to by another package.
This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or
is only available from another source
However the following packages replace it:
perl

E: Package 'perl-doc' has no installation candidate
root [at] catalys:~#

Check output of: apt-cache policy perl-doc

You may need to configure your sources list (/etc/apt/sources.list).

Below is what my sources.list looks like.

As I see you don't need to add something.
I don't know your knowledge about using Debian, so please excuse me if
you already did following (commands must be run with sudo or as root
user):
- aptitude update (or apt-get update)
- aptitude install perl-doc (or apt-get install perl-doc)

After first command you can see that you have available for install
perl-doc, here is:
apt-cache policy perl-doc
perl-doc:
Installed: 5.10.1-17squeeze2
Candidate: 5.10.1-17squeeze2
Version table:
*** 5.10.1-17squeeze2 0
500 http://security.debian.org/ stable/updates/main i386 Packages
100 /var/lib/dpkg/status
5.10.1-17squeeze1 0
500 http://mirror.cc.columbia.edu/pub/linux/debian/debian/
squeeze/main i386 Packages
500 http://ftp.debian.org/debian/ squeeze/main i386 Packages
500 http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian/ squeeze/main i386 Packages

As you can see from last line of output there is perl-doc available
from repository in your sources.list

Hope this solve your problem.
As this is more Debian related questions you may have a look at:

best regards
Kamen

Don't know if it's that easy, but have you updated your system after
editing sources.list:
1. apt-get update
2. apt-get upgrade
3. apt-get install perl-doc

Can you install anything?

greets kimi
