=====
[as root] I've run fink:
remove perl560 perl560-core install perl580 (perl580-core was already installed) scanpackages apt-get update apt-get dist-upgrade
and things are rolling along (222 packages to upgrade)
when that's done i'll get back around to the fink selfupdate and update-all
I'll let y'all know if it gets bumpy again.
Looking good...,
Thanks again Dan,
Robert

Sounds like you're compiling a package that expects perl 5.8.0 or higher (which knows those MakeMaker parameters and comes with Test::More but yout /sw/bin/perl appears to be 5.6.0. You say you have perl580-core installed, so try installing perl580 also (which updates /sw/bin/perl to 5.8.0). Alternatively, install the test-simple-pm package to get Test::More for perl 5.6.0; you'll still get the MakeMaker warnings, but I think they are harmless.

===== the old and bad situation:
(10.2-gcc3.3 unstable) fink apropos perl brought back, among other things:
(i) perl560 5.6.0-13 Practical extraction and report language, v. 5.6.0
(i) perl560-core 5.6.0-13 Core files for perl, v. 5.6.0
perl561 5.6.1-1 Practical extraction and report language, v. 5.6.1
perl561-core 5.6.1-1 Core files for perl, v. 5.6.1
perl580 5.8.0-12 The Perl programming language, v. 5.8.0
i perl580-core 5.8.0-12 Core files for perl, v. 5.8.0
== so fink install perl580 yielded:
The following package will be installed or updated:
perl580
dpkg -i /sw/fink/dists/unstable/main/binary-darwin-powerpc/languages/perl580_5.8.0-12_darwin-powerpc.deb
Selecting previously deselected package perl580.
dpkg: regarding .../perl580_5.8.0-12_darwin-powerpc.deb containing perl580:

perl580 provides podparser-pm and is to be installed.
dpkg: error processing /sw/fink/dists/unstable/main/binary-darwin-powerpc/languages/perl580_5.8.0-12_darwin-powerpc.deb (--install):

Errors were encountered while processing:

### execution of dpkg failed, exit code 1
Failed: can't install package perl580-5.8.0-12
== that brings us back to the top of this message with removing perl560 and perl560-core
