I'm pleased to announce to this list that Fink has been revised to better cope with the installation of multiple perl versions, and that perl itself (versions 5.6.0, 5.6.1, and 5.8.0) can now be installed via Fink.

I get this:
Unpacking system-perl580 (from.../system-perl580_5.8.0-1_darwin-powerpc.deb) > ...
Sorry, your perl is not version 5.8.0. DO NOT INSTALL THIS PACKAGE.
dpkg: error processing /sw/fink/dists/unstable/main/binary-darwin-powerpc/ languages/system-perl580_5.8.0-1_darwin-powerpc.deb (--install): subprocess pre-installation script returned error exit status 255 Errors were encountered while processing: /sw/fink/dists/unstable/main/binary-darwin-powerpc/languages/system- perl580_5.8.0-1_darwin-powerpc.deb ### execution of dpkg failed, exit code 1 Failed: can't install package system-perl580-5.8.0-1
which is odd, when you consider:
510$ which perl /usr/local/bin/perl 511$ perl -v
This is perl, v5.8.0 built for darwin
