Fear is the mind-killer. :-)
Understanding what Fink does, and does NOT do, is key here. It doesn't
damage or modify your system Perl in any way. All it does is add a
single environment variable that Perl (any Perl, not just Apple's)
looks for when it starts up.
If you want the rest of Fink, but don't want its changes to PERL5LIB,
just undo them. Leave the call to its init.sh in your .profile, and
immediately after that, add a line that overrides its changes to
PERL5LIB:
export PERL5LIB=''
