I update perl, and fetchyahoo crashed (segment violation). I ran perl-cleaner, fetchyahoo was still crashing. I manually emerged many different perl libraries, fetchyahoo was still crashing. I tracked the crash down through the perl libraries until I found Crypt-SSLeay and Net-SSLeay were the source of the crash. I updated them (to latest) and the problem went away. Either this is a problem with the older version of the SSLeay packages I was using (and perl needs a dependency?) or perl-cleaner didn't do the right thing. or at least thats my guess! Reproducible: Didn't try
If something crashes, you need to post exact ebuild version, some errors and emerge --info. perl-cleaner is not there to upgrade anything or to fix any crashes, it simply recompiles installed perl modules after upgrading perl versions. http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/bugzilla-howto.xml http://www.gentoo.org/proj/en/qa/backtraces.xml
