Why would you expect that? It should work by installing Fink perl588 packages. What was the failure mode? When I attempt to install > html-parser-pm586 (version match), fink tells me that there are "No packages > to install" when clearly there is an html-parser-pm586 package available. Do you mean "available" as in "on the package database on the web" or as in "shows up in my 'fink list'"? > I'm able to install the html-parser-pm584 package but this doesnt seem to do > me any good, or work with perl 5.8.6. Right, because it's built against perl584 (hence the designation) Any thoughts on the matter, or as to > why fink is reporting there is no such package? It's not reporting that there's no such package, necessarily. It may be reporting that you already have the most current version it knows about installed.
