list of garbage

After uninstalling perl a lot files are not removed from /usr/lib64/perl5, see attached list.

Ideally we really should find a way to generate these files without needing perl-cleaner to clean them up. ( Which it presently doesn't do )

We have slot deps, so I figure we can probably do them in some other ebuild ( though it could be doable in perl itself )
Comment 2 Andreas K. Hüttel archtester gentoo-dev 2016-05-21 21:24:10 UTC
I'm marking this fixed since starting with 5.24 the files are not generated in the first place...

(Yes they are still there for earlier versions.)
