Well, i followed the directions for installing perl 5.8.0 and perl seems to be installed correctly. However, fink doesn't want to work now!

After installing perl, I tried followed some instructions for removing the old Storable.pm, so a new one could be rebuilt, with these commands and got an error:

[thors-hammer] soob% sudo mv /sw/lib/perl5/darwin/Storable.pm /tmp
[thors-hammer] soob% sudo mv /sw/lib/perl5/darwin/auto/Storable /tmp
[thors-hammer] soob% sudo fink rebuild storable-pm
sudo: unable to exec /sw/bin/fink: No such file or directory

fink is there in /sw/bin and other commands stored there work fine. I had to remove perl from /usr/bin so it'd find perl in /usr/local/bin so I tried a rehash and a complete reboot, still cannot get fink to execute.

Wierd thing is just typing 'fink rebuild storable.pm' produces:
zsh: command not found: fink

and '/sw/bin/fink rebuild storable-pm' produces:
zsh: no such file or directory: /sw/bin/fink

If I cp perl5.6.0 to /usr/bin/perl, fink is again recognized as a valid file but I get the expected undefined symbols errors. Remove that perl again and rehash and fink isn't found.

Do I need to rebuild fink? If so, how? Any helpful ideas? I tried searching the archive, but didn't find anything that addressed this issue.

TIA, Jim

Is it Ok to run fink with perl 5.8 or is this not recommended? I installed it - 5.8.0 to be precise -
exactly as prescribed here - http://developer.apple.com/internet/macosx/perl.html
Now I get this awful thing-
See where it talks about fink on that page.
