When attempting to upgrade perl from 5.8.4 to 5.8.6 via emerge perl the installation went ok with no errors but upon attempting to emerge something or run another program that calls perl reports an error: (All errors are from perl version 5.8.6) Casper ~ # emerge vim ... >>> Source unpacked. * Creating configure script ... make: Entering directory `/var/tmp/portage/vim-core-6.3.084/work/vim63/src' if test ! -f configure.save; then mv configure configure.save; fi autoconf File::Glob object version 1.03 does not match bootstrap parameter 1.02 at /usr/lib/perl5/5.8.6/i686-linux/DynaLoader.pm line 253.

Try re-emerging autoconf, which is what's invoking perl in this case (never seen this error before).
