sync up...this was fixed in the eclass a few months ago...question being why are you still hitting it. Either way, between the eclass fixes and the virtual fixes, so long as you don't manually emerge file-spec directly, but instead allow it to be pulled in via an ebuild, you should get a virtual for it, in which case it will most likely be filled by the version of perl you have installed.

I pulled it in by emerging bugzilla, so it depends on what bugzilla depends on.

bugzilla-2.18.4.ebuild: >=virtual/perl-File-Spec-0.8.2
bugzilla-2.20.ebuild:   >=virtual/perl-File-Spec-0.84


sync up, it was fixed at about the same time you were filing this, promise :)
