Just start over from scratch. Normally if you restart a build that was
abandonded for any reason, Fink just wipes out whatever build directory
was bring used rather than trying to sort out where you were and what
might have gone wrong. (The minor exception is if you made it to the point
where you've built a .deb archive but haven't installed it yet -- and in
that case the build dir is already gone anyway.)

Usually, yes. Depending on what you're installing, many packages require
lots, and lots, and lots of files for make... :/
By the way, since you seem to be trying to install Perl modules, have you
tried using CPAN.pm or /usr/bin/cpan? They make installing modules very
easy (not that Fink doesn't also, mind you), but it's software that you
should be able to use almost anywhere that you can use Perl itself (not
sure about Win32 Perl, but any version of Unix...). You can activate it as:
sudo perl -MCPAN -e shell
or just
sudo cpan
The first time you run it you'll probably be asked a bunch of simple
config questions before dropping you into the
cpan>
prompt. From there, hit ? for instructions, but basically you can browse
the CPAN archive in various ways, and download & install anything that you
find there. Very nice...
