I am starting to wonder if we should have an umbrella package that would
take the place of system-perl588 on x86_64 fink 10.5 by making sure that
all of the perlmods provided by Apple were provided via the matching
fink packages. I think the core developers need to get much stricter about
perlmod packages always being tested with -m since there seem to be a lot
of hidden issues that option exposes.
