This problem isn't associated with any particular perlmod, but is a 
result of a problem that started in fink-0.36.0.  Removing 
file-path-pm5123 will avoid the collision, but you'll have files 
installed in the wrong place in file-path-pm5124.

Start by doing something along the lines of

dpkg -S 5.12.3 | grep 5124

and "fink rebuild" any packages that show up in that list so that you 
don't have mis-built pm5124 modules laying around and potentially 
confusing the builds.

Make sure to do a "fink rebuild file-path-pm5124" afterwards, in any 
case.  When I had this issue on a few perlmods, using "fink rebuild 
<package>" resolved it for me.
