Probably irrelevant...perl is perl is perl when it comes to regexes.
Also, I'm pretty sure fink always uses /usr/bin/perl even if there are
other "perl" present (look at the first line of /sw/bin/fink to see
what perl is used). More relevant is:

>>> What version of fink? 
>> Fink 0.23.10

Whoa, that's old. We've been in 0.24.x for many months now. If you're
doing any package development, you'll want to be using something of a
2006 vintage. No guarantee the bug is fixed, but it will at least be
different if it exists, and the 0.23.x branch is quite dead.
