I am still tring to fix my html-tableextract-pm problems.

I have fink'd perl5.8 installed, but also system-perl. Do I need system-perl? When I trying to remove it via fink, I get the following:

~ $ fkr system-perl
/usr/bin/sudo /sw/bin/fink remove system-perl
Information about 2757 packages read in 2 seconds.
dpkg --remove system-perl
dpkg - warning: ignoring request to remove system-perl which isn't installed.



note: fkr is an alias for fink remove


Fink shows this as installed when I list it:

$ fkl perl (alias for fink list)
