Hi Robert,
I am top-posting against my habit, because I think there is a bug that needs fixing here, and I am CCing the whole thing to the persons who are susceptible to know how to fix it.
First what you can do to work around the bug:
Remove the test-simple-pm package ("fink remove test-simple-pm"). Then the fink update should run without error. It will produce a non-fatal error message and suggest to you to install that package. Ignore this. Afterwards, install the test-simple-pmxxx package where xxx corresponds to the version of your /usr/bin/perl (note: "/usr/bin/perl", not just "perl"). By default on Jaguar, xxx=5.6.0.
Your problem is (I am guessing) that you have a test-simple-pm package installed from earlier times. But I don't know the history of that package, so I cannot guess why you have it.
The bug as I see it is in the current test-simple-pm package. It should replace older versions of itself by typed versions (the ones with xxx), but it doesn't, and it is even impossible to follow the suggestion of the fink package, namely to
fink install test-simple-pm
Although the typed packages have a "Provides: test-simple-pm" line, this does not work: I get
Failed: no version info available for test-simple-pm
This is a bug, but I cannot guess where it is hiding.
In any case, removing that package (and perhaps installing the typed version) should get you going.

Hi Martin!
I have tried this with perl560, perl561, and perl580, but I ran all of these commands and put the output at the bottom of this page.
Thanks, Robert

Which perl do I need installed on Mac OS 10.2.8 to do a fink selfupdate from 0.21.2 to 0.22.2-1?
Which perl do you have installed, "perl -v"?
... or did I do something else wrong? I just installed fink on a new drive and have enabled unstable.
What do you get from fink list test-simple-pm ?
bash-2.05a# fink -V Package manager version: 0.21.2 Distribution version: 0.6.3.rsync running fink selfupdate: xargs: /usr/bin/perl exited with status 255 make: *** [test] Error 124 ### execution of make failed, exit code 2 Failed: compiling fink-0.22.2-1 failed
Could you please show the complete output of fink update fink
