Very weird that `fink list` and fink-virtual-pkgs have a disconnect. 
Fink internally uses the command `/usr/bin/perl -e 'printf "%vd", $^V' ` 
to determine the perl version and it should be the same for `fink list` 
and fink-virtual-pkgs.

What does that report? Also, what does this give you:
ls -l /usr/bin/perl* /usr/local/bin/perl* /opt/sw/bin/perl*
