(Putting this on -users since the NDA is over) It's not directly an issue with Perl. It's that you updated to 10.8 with a fink version installed which doesn't know about it. There is a workaround posted on http://www.finkproject.org/news under "If you updated the OS first, and have an earlier version of fink which doesn't know about Mountain Lion, you have probably found that it doesn't work.
