So it seems to me, if your desire is to follow this security advisory,
then you should choose to let fink "su" to root instead of using "sudo",
when the bootstrap proccess asks you.  Setting PERL5LIB is a rather
important part of what fink does to avoid messing with your system
itself, I don't know that there's another good way to do it.

We could certainly make it so fink does 'use lib' to find it's own
stuff, but it's silly to patch every perl package in fink to add
/sw/lib/perl5 to the include path internally...  That's what PERL5LIB is
for...
