perl 5.8.0 issue on Mac OS X w/ fink
Mac OS X users that have fink installed may experience the following error when executing certain perl operations (see ‘EXAMPLE’). dyld: perl Undefined symbols: _Perl_safefree _Perl_safemalloc _Perl_saferealloc _Perl_sv_2pv _perl_call_sv _perl_eval_sv _perl_get_sv
This was just the jumpstart I needed. I have not been able to get perl 5.6.x reinstalled properly, but after reading this page, I reinstalled perl 5.8.0, then reinstalled CPAN from scratch. It in turn reinstalled Storable. That cleared everything up. Fink now works again.
