When I add -D PERL to the options in /etc/conf.d/apache2, apache fails to start with the error: * Apache2 has detected a syntax error in your configuration files: apache2: Syntax error on line 492 of /etc/apache2/httpd.conf: Syntax error on line 3 of /etc/apache2/modules.d/75_mod_perl.conf: Cannot load /usr/lib/apache2/modules/mod_perl.so into server: libperl.so.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory I have re-emerged perl, apache, and mod_perl, all to no avail.

Chances you missed to ran revdep-rebuild or the perl-cleaner script, after updating perl?
I have run both revdep-rebuild and perl-cleaner. Revdep didn't return anything perl related, perl-cleaner didn't report any errors.
perl team: I took a look at the ebuild and nothing stands out as being incorrect, but I'm not familiar with this package (and it's rather complex). As it's your package, I'm assigning this bug to you guys to figure out. I thought I read something somewhere (perhaps planet.g.o?) about libperl.so changing/going away/something, perhaps this is the cause?
please also post emerge -pv libperl. I see perl and mod_perl listed, but its a three part deal
it seems a re-run of "perl-cleaner reallyall" has done thr trick. I am not sure if libperl has been re-emerged in the mean time, but I doubt it. Sorry for the noise, this is working now.
