I'll follow up:  if you don't see a bunch of /sw/lib/perl5 directories
for the first command, and the second command doesn't give

/sw/lib/perl5:/sw/lib/perl5/darwin

then it looks like you're not initializing the Fink environment
settings via init.[c]sh .  If so, try running "/sw/bin/pathsetup.sh"
and see what that gives you.
