And that's harder using Fink than you'd think. The version Bob has is 
probably 1.08. Version 1.12 is available only in the unstable tree at 
the moment (and only since last week). The crypt-ssleay issue delayed it 
for a while. At least it won't get stuck in unstable forever, as the 
Apple supplied openssl will allow both f-q and ssleay to escape crypto 
classification.

For perl modules, I almost think the fink folk ought to instruct users 
about CPAN...
