Can't stat /usr/local/share/perl/5.8.8: No such file or directory
at /home/perlsyntax/.vim/perl-support/scripts/pmdesc3.pl line 243
Can't stat /usr/local/lib/perl/5.8.8: No such file or directory

It's looking for your perl install in non-standard locations
(unless you installed perl from source and accepted /usr/local
as the default).

dpkg -L perl-base

What are you trying to do, did you check that perl-base is
installed at all?
