I agree with Spades - fink would be fine if everything was released for fink - but it isn't, and lots of things that work in OSX work their way into fink slowly.

This means that sometimes, despite editing default paths and so on, things that you want to install - with CPAN, for example - just don't work with other things you installed with fink, unless you go in and edit config files all the time.

I thought fink was great at first, but now that I've learned how to install stuff into /usr/local CPAN works much better, and CPAN seems to update much more frequently than fink.
