I have Panther, with its pre-installed perl 5.8.1; "fink-virtual-pkgs" gives (among other things)
Package: system-perl Status: install ok installed Version: 5.8.1-1 description: [virtual package representing perl]
As a test, "perl -e 'print "Hello world\n";'" prints what it should. Is there any reason I can't proceed thus?
For one thing, this doesn't give me /sw/bin/perl, which my next fink update-all wanted; I got around that with
ln -s /usr/bin/perl /sw/bin/perl
Seems to have worked, but I feel I'm now on a slippery slope. Any comments/advice?
