There's a problem with this. Fink's texi2html uses #!/sw/bin/perl . But I'm using system-perl586, so I don't have a /sw/bin/perl. This is detected by 'make', so it uses the OS X texi2html instead.
So this raises the questions: Is it ok to use /sw/bin/perl as an interpreter? And if it is, how are people using system-perl* supposed to deal with it?
May I remind of http://article.gmane.org/gmane.os.apple.fink.devel/ 9706 ??
The problem is much more widespread, and affects over half of fink's pkgs ...
We will never correct but an infinitesimal fraction of those...
To me, the only realistic solution is that fink's perl pkgs install the
symlink /sw/bin/perl -> perlxyz in a PostInstallScript and, in a PreRemoveScript,
re-set it to point to /usr/bin/perl.

Just talked on #fink about this:
* dmacks thinks perl-version-independent scripts should either be forced
to always encode /usr/bin/perl or [be forced to always encode /sw/ bin/perl
and have a Depends for it]
[...]
< dmacks> Looks like texi2html encodes "first perl in PATH" at build-time?
[...]
* dmacks has verified the assumption about texi2html's #! encoding behavior.
I just committed a new texi2html to 10.3/unstable that forces use of /usr/bin/perl always (no doubt portable to Tiger, but I'm not on that cat to test it right now:)
