Description Jan Chren (rindeal) 2016-05-26 22:54:38 UTC 
This is the message:

```
 * UPDATE THE PERL MODULES:
 * After updating dev-lang/perl you must reinstall
 * the installed perl modules.
 * Use: perl-cleaner --all
```

It makes no sense displaying this before compilation.

should use REPLACING_VERSIONS, not has_version?
