Complaints, complaints. :-)

That's correct.  You don't need to run postinstall.pl when
bootstrapping.

We never got around to making the list out.  Here's your refund:

Normally, yes, but see below.

Only -pm5123 Perl modules currently exist for Lion.

$ fink list -t psutils tidy uni2ascii dosunix xml-parser crypt-ssleay
Information about 4115 packages read in 0 seconds.
        crypt-ssleay-pm5123     0.57-2  Perl module, allows perl to use OpenSSL
        html-tidy-pm5123        1.54-1  (X)HTML validation in a Perl object
        libtidyp-dev    1.04-1  Development files for HTML Tidy
        libtidyp-shlibs 1.04-1  Shared library for HTML Tidy
        perl-tidy       20090616-2      Improves Perl script formatting and 
indenting
        psutils         [virtual package]
        psutils-a4      1.17-3  Postscript tools, a4 size
        psutils-letter  1.17-3  Postscript tools, letter size
        tidyp   1.04-1  Utility to clean up HTML/XHTML/XML
 i      xml-parser-pm5123       2.41-1  Perl ext interface to XML parser/expat

So Lion has psutils (pick -a4 or -letter), crypt-ssleay-pm5123, and
xml-parser-pm5123

Unfortunately, the package database isn't currently updating, and we
haven't been able to get a hold of the person who knows how to unstick
it, so the information there isn't getting updated.

We've been processing requests to move packages as they come in.  I'll
cc the maintainers of tidy, dosunix, and uni2ascii.
