Same here. Just dist-upgraded on my 32bit VM install and everything went swimmingly. If I recall correctly, libperl5.14 is the only package removed, but there's a later version (5.18, I think) in it's place. So far, no issues with perl related software that I've noticed. Apt's still holding a xorg-core package. I assume it's waiting for a dependency to catch up in version number.
Haven't dist-upgraded on amd64 yet, but looking at the siduction forums, it seems to be all good on that architecture as well.

Just upgraded my 32-bit siduction LXDE, all seems well so far. Yup, libperl5.14 removed and replaced with libperl5.18 here, and xorg held.

Looks OK now, except for mips and mipsel architectures. If you use Subversion (svn) hold back for a day or two, else we can regard the transition of the base perl as completed.
