In that case, it sounds like whoever created your Government/Corporate install media replaced the perl 5.8.6 that was supplied by Apple with a newer perl 5.8.7. You should contact those people and explain to them that their action has made it impossible to use fink on the machine.
After some more exchanges with BuildSmart, I still don't quite know how he managed to get the output of perl -V that he got (he did fiddle with his perl after the installation), but he more or less convinced me (*) that he is right, and Apple did indeed deliver his machine with a system containing perl-5.8.7. Is there no way to get a confirmation from Apple (msachs?) In any case, 5.8.7 is the current released version of perl, so Fink will sooner or later have to think about supporting it.
(*) The most convincing argument is an extract from lsbom of the Essentials.pkg showing among others
