You have a slightly outdated version of my patched tree. If you go into 
the directory where you did the original `./bootstrap` to install my 
patched tree, run `git pull` to get the latest patches, then run 
`./inject.pl` to update your installed Fink in /opt/sw3. Once that's 
done, Fink should know to look for perl5.30 (and not perl5.30.2) with 
macOS 11.3.
