I googled and try a few things. At the end, I ended with

emerge ExtUtils-F77  ExtUtils-XSBuilder
emerge Scalar-List-Utils

and portage did it fine with IO-Socket-SSL-1.12

Hi,

I re-emerged perl-core/Scalar-List-Utils and dev-lang/perl (probably dev-lang/perl might have avoided), and it's OK now.

ExtUtils-F77 and ExtUtils-XSBuilder were of no use for me.

Works here too. Please reopen if there are still problems.
