I am masking older perl/libperl version now. If there is any problem you experience with the removal/mask, this is the correct bugreport to report it.
just FYI I agree with hard masking <5.12.2 but i'd prefer to have 5.8.8 staying least for a while in the tree. I'm using a binary only perl module which 5.10 breaks, so i'm stuck on 5.8.8. It's Confixx::Filter. I know Confixx is discontinued but it's still a nice piece of software and there are no alternatives in terms of webserver customer panels which work as flawless as Confixx under Gentoo.

Yes, update portage. Try: USE=-bash-completion emerge -av1 eselect portage If it doesn't work, file a new bug. This is not a blocker for the perl removal.
(In reply to comment #4) > Yes, update portage. Try: > > USE=-bash-completion emerge -av1 eselect portage > > If it doesn't work, file a new bug. > This is not a blocker for the perl removal. That helped although I had to split the command into two and update separately. Thanks.

Virtuals fixed, old versions removed. All done, closed.
