"fink install bioperl-pm588"  You're totally free to install bioperl:

http://pdb.finkproject.org/pdb/package.php/bioperl-pm588

and it will install a Fink perl package and use that.  This won't affect
your system's 5.10.0 at all.

What the original poster's issue was is that it won't use perl 5.10.0 as
of yet, but as long as any scripts you run don't try to use
/usr/bin/perl as the interpreter, bioperl ought to work.
