For some semblance of compatibility, fink supplies the perl versions of 
several older OSX on certain platforms--especially the "one OS X 
previous standard". So OS X 10.6 is perl5.10.0 but fink also supplies 
5.8.8 becuse that's what OS X 10.5 was. Of course one should tend 
towards using newer versions. But fink should do the right thing and 
keep doing whatever you were doing. This is a missing dependency in a 
package, which has nothing directly to do with the perl version. It 
only works at all on any platform because apple supplies some 
nonstandard perl features.

danielj: xml-sax-pmXXX needs Depends:xml-sax-base-pm, which doesn't exist.
