You might even be able to make it work just by removing fink's perl 5.8.8 (provided your 'built-in' 5.8.6 is still in its usual place). 2.0.5 is much better than 1.8.x (IMO). In a pinch you can even go back and forth as long as you're willing to swap versions with fink when ever you want to change. (That swapping won't be possible when 2.2 is released in a few weeks. 2.2 will still read the 1.8 file, but you won't be able to go back with the data to the earlier version.)
