	I decided to upgrade the perl distro on my OS X Server box to 5.8 with the instructions here. Of course, this broke fink as fink depends on some perl modules that are compiled for 5.6 perl and will not work; you will get a series of undefined symbol errors (I got like 10 of them) on common fink AND perl tasks. The solution is to build fink from source; this resulted in the perlmods being built for 5.8 and all is gravy; i am building Gimp at the moment so it works.
