Thanks, this told me enough. The settings are in /sw/lib/perl5/Net/libnet.cfg. I had changed the ones in /Library/Perl/Net/libnet.cfg, when I changed the ones in /sw/lib/perl5/Net/libnet.cfg. I suspect that users like me who use both Fink and CPAN would be better off with some sort of System-perl-mod so that we could simply install the modules we need with CPAN and tell Fink that they were there.
Changing the libnet.cfg is enough to trigger some questioning and to allow for reconfiguring. As long as I know it is there I can change it whenever I feel like it - such as elminating or altering entries that make tests fail. This is preferable to going off line in that I don't lose use of my server, and I could actually diagnose the problems to see why the test failed.
