Ok. Does this mean that the Perl560-core that I have installed is a

Well fink should tell you if there are any dependencies right?
fink remove perl560-core and see what happens :)
I've used CPAN from within Fink's perl 5.8.4 distribution, and had a
few problems actually installing modules (some files being installed
in the wrong place), but nothing that wasn't surmountable. In
particular I currently run Spamassassin installed in this way.
FWIW I'm upgrading to Spamassassin 3 today and it seems all the files
end up in the right place. But I note that cpan installed binaries end
up in /usr/shar/bin, not in the /sw tree. However since /usr/share/bin
isn't in my $path the system perl doesn't see these, not that it would
be looking for spamassassin anyway. All the other perl stuff ends up in
the /sw. It does mean that if you want use the newer version of perl you
have to point scripts or applications specifically to the fink version.
