dev-perl/PDL is needed by the Gimp if use perl is set.

This works here without any troubles. I tried it on 2 computers with the same positive results.
Another user also complained of this on #gentoo yesterday, don't remember his nick. So this isn't just my machine. (He was a KDE user too, if that means anything).We need to locate the cause of this, I'll try some experiments later.
Failed the same on my 2nd machine, which is a Gentoo rc6 not updated in any way for about a month. I really know nothing about perl so I'll find it hard to make it work :-( But of course, if you can't reproduce it, there's nothing you can do.
I have the same error as Dan on my machine. I'm also not a perl hacker, but if someone mail me where i can find the details of the tests, i'll try my best to find the bug.
committed PDL-2.3.2 ebuild which seems to fix this problem
