i upgraded mac os x 10.2.3's perl (5.6) to version 5.8 the other day, and it worked flawlessly (following the directions on developer.apple.com/internet/macosx). however i then went to install fink, and its broken ... really, really broken. anyone had this experience? know a solution?

thanks
 
I did that -- upgraded Perl to 5.8 and broke Fink in the process. Here is how to fix it:

mv /sw/lib/perl5/darwin/Storable.pm /tmp
mv /sw/lib/perl5/darwin/auto/Storable /tmp
fink rebuild storable-pm

It IS first necessary to do the mv's, before the rebuild, since fink is
a perl script that explicitly adds /sw/lib/perl5 to @INC, and exhibits
the behavior mentioned above.

You will need to execute the above commands for every XS module that
is contained within /sw/lib/perl5.
