I'm trying to transfer tarballs from a G5 machine with broadband

I've been trying to follow the method described in /sw/fink/ Read Me
for inserting a tarball into Fink.
Methods 1 & 2 refer to a perl script named: inject.pl.
It does not seem to be present on any of the 3 machine installations
of os10.3.9 and Fink v 0.7.1.rsync
& Fink Commander 0.5.3 available to me.
I cannot find it anywhere on the net, in particular on the Fink
sites. Has it been withdrawn?
Can anyone tell me what to do next?

Umm...that's way out of date. We should fix that. ;-)
Here's a better method:

Thanks Alexander for such a quick reply.
The problem with the method described at
http://fink.sourceforge.net/doc/advanced/bindist.php?phpLang=en is that
it assumes the two machines are able to network connect somehow; and
that people like me understand everything that they are doing!
In my case the two machines are physically isolated and I do not want
to set one of them up and expose it as a web server.
We have been attempting to transfer files via cd and flash memory.
Hence the interest in injecting software(which can be addictive as we
all know).
As a side question isn't this problem widespread enough to justify
adding a Fink/Fink Commander option to import either Fink tarballs or
deb files from transfer media like cds or flash memory?
