Running just 'perl' will run /usr/bin/perl which is perl 5.10.0 on Snow Leopard, not perl 5.8.8. If you really want to use 5.8.8, you need to use /sw/bin/perl5.8.8 explicitly. If you just want to use the system's perl 5.10.0, you need to install svn-swig-pm5100 instead of svn-swig-pm588. You may also have to play 32/64 bit games to get things working. Are you using fink's git-svn? It should take care of these details automatically, and if it's not I'd like to know so I can fix it. I can say that fink's git-svn works fine for me on Snow Leopard.
