I'm pretty sure I successfully installed expat with Fink

There you go then. Expat is installed, but in a non-standard directory.

My impression is that Fink is a little too user-friendly for many perl purposes?

Since when is Fink user-friendly? ;-)

Anyway, ease of use has nothing to do with it. Fink installs everything under /sw, and the make file for XML::Parser doesn't know to look in /sw/lib & /sw/include for expat.

It's hardly an insurmountable problem, just a minor little blip. The error message you get from the XML::Parser configure script even tells you exactly how to handle it.
