net-snmp links to libperl and probably enables perl functionality in the process even when we explicitly disable perl.

Well I'm enjoying my coffee right now. Seems your herd is to small and or moves to slow for me. Ok here is some more info about what seems to be going on.

fixed in portage.
Bug is present in 5.2 ebuild again. I'll have an updated ebuild for us soon. I've also talked to upstream about this on irc and filed a bug. It will be fixed in 5.2.1 http://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=1075505&group_id=12694&atid=112694
On x86, worked okay with 5.1.1. But now 5.1.1-r1 requires setting the Perl use flag back to off.
I'm using this ebuild which does not link incorrectly to perl. http://oc12.net/~solar/local/net-analyzer/net-snmp/net-snmp-5.2-r1.ebuild
I shouldn't have specified the exact line number in the sedding last time. in portage.
