I'm in fink-core.

Some people want one.  Personally, I don't.  You can use most GNOME or
KDE applications without having the full desktop.  And you don't
particularly even need a different window manager than what Apple provides.

The problem with perl588-5.8.9-9 is localized to _your_ machine; as I
said, I didn't reproduce your issue.  The test failure message doesn't
provide enough data to act upon, and nobody has happened to have seen
the issue before, apparently.  So it's up to you to provide more data.

Since it's lib/locale which is failing, how about showing us the results
of the following command when run in a terminal window:

fink dumpinfo -eLANG -eLOCALE perl588

Also:  did you try running the stuff yet it said to do to "...have a
good chance to get more information..."?  Try that:

1) In a terminal run

cd /sw/src/fink.build/perl588-5.8.8-10/perl-5.8.8/t

2)  Then run

DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH=`pwd`; export DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH; ./perl harness

and post the results of that.
