After upgrading perl, it suggested me to run perl cleaner, so here's what happened: store20 ~ # perl-cleaner modules Fri Nov 23 07:43:02 EET 2007 : Building list of modules for reinstall Locating modules for reinstall Fri Nov 23 07:43:06 EET 2007 : Rebuilding modules: Building list of ebuilds Reinstalling ebuilds Calculating dependencies - !!!

emerge -C perl-core/ExtUtils-MakeMaker
(In reply to comment #1) > emerge -C perl-core/ExtUtils-MakeMaker > Yep, it works, but this is a clearly bug in the tool...
what version did you use of perl-cleaner?
app-admin/perl-cleaner-1.04.3
*** Bug 135409 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***
Closing old cruft because noone is interested...
