Disclaimer: I don't know the first thing about perl. Having perl 5.8.8 installed evidently makes changes that are not coded for in nuvexport, and thus it totally breaks it. $ nuvexport Can't locate DBI.pm in @INC (@INC contains: /usr/bin /usr/share/nuvexport /usr/local/share/nuvexport /etc/perl /usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.8.8/i686-linux-thread-multi /usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.8.8 /usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.8.7 /usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.8/i686-linux-thread-multi /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.8 /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl /usr/lib/perl5/5.8.8/i686-linux-thread-multi /usr/lib/perl5/5.8.8 /usr/local/lib/site_perl .) at /usr/share/nuvexport/mythtv/db.pm line 13.

(In reply to comment #0) > Perhaps a check could be done for nuvexport installed, and then mask perl 5.8.8 if so? Nope, we definitely can't mask ebuilds dynamically. :0
perl-cleaner fixed me up, and it seems that nuvexport may not emerge all the needed perl DBI files it requires, will investigate further and open a new bug if that is the case.
