After reading: http://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic.php?t=79032&highlight=perltk,

I removed extutils-makemaker.  perl-tk is now building.

I had the same problem and removing MakeMaker worked for me as well.  emerge
never complained or listed it as a blocking package which caused a bit of
frustration untill I came across this solution.  Weird.

Apparently I lied.  I'm still getting the same error even after I unmerge
ExtUtils-MakeMaker File-Spec Test-Simple.  I also ran
/usr/portage/dev-lang/perl/files/libperl_rebuilder but it runs forever in an
infinite loop (I caught it because eachtime it builds the SpamAssassin module
it pauses to ask if network test should be performed.  After getting the same
message three times spaced evenly in 3 hour time incriments I was pretty sure
it would never finish building all my modules).  Anyone know another way to fix
this since removing ExtUtils and co. didn't do the job and emerging safe
versions didn't do the job?  Is there a better version of libperl_rebuilder I
can run?

I am receiving this same error.  I have tried emerging perl-tk-800.024 as well
as using CPAN to try to install the module.  CPAN gives a more complete error
message:

Thanks.

emerge -C ExtUtils-MakeMaker
emerge perl-tk
emerge ExtUtils-MakeMaker

I've no idea why but that worked for me.  I unmerged ExtUtils before and tried
emerging perl-tk and it still failed.  It's working now though so I can't
complain.
Thanks

I was having problems with this building also.  Seems it wasn't finding stuff
in various headers when it was being built inside sandbox.  For me the
following allowed it to compile and install sucessfully.
FEATURES="-sandbox" emerge perl-tk

None of these fixes worked for me, even building without sandbox.

that looks relevant, and adopted it.

tested this but I still get the same probpem when I build it using sandbox.  It
is fine if I disable sandbox.
