I first got this problem when trying to install media-gfx/imagemagick-6.3.0.5. The ebuild fails with this error: Can't locate object method "reinit" via package "Pod::Man" at /usr/lib/perl5/5.8.8/Pod/Man.pm line 1222. I get the same error now with a number of packages, such as: dev-perl/DBI-1.50, net-analyzer/rrdtool-1.2.15-r3, perl-core/PodParser-1.32, perl-core/Test-Harness-2.56 I have tried re-emerging everything perl, and especially Pod-Simple, to no effect. A number of packages fail to re-emerge with the same error. revdep-rebuild is clean.

Hmm. I re-emerged dev-lang/perl again, and now everything compiles cleanly. Problem was behind the keyboard apparently :-)
