On a related note -- Nat, please, if you could summarize how fink trashed your system so much that you had to reinstall... that might be as great a help as creating a perl dmg. Fink makes a very big issue of how it protects your system by installing under /sw, and remaining separate from the system. Seems like while it does all that, it also has to capability of hosing the system.
I work (employed) in a Windows environment, and I see machines routinely rebuilt. Seems like anything goes wrong, which, btw, is daily, the only way out they know is to rebuild the machine. At home I have OS X 10.2.3 now on 3 machines (one as old as a blue 350 iMac) ever since OS X came out, and no reinstalls or rebuilding ever. I shudder to think of the possibility that I might have to reinstall sometime, but smirk in the knowledge that unix systems don't need to be... seems like you had to.
why?
