Has the problem with CPAN overwriting /usr/bin/head with /usr/bin/HEAD
been solved?

Just FYI, Fink finally "plays well" with perl 5.8.0 installations.  If
you upgrade to the latest CVS version, all XS-modules are installed in
properly-versioned subdirectories of the perl5 directory, and Fink
should run just fine with any version of perl from 5.6.0 through 5.8.x.
