Hey Guys, Maybe when a new perl is installed, it can look down the portage, and re-install all the perl modules ? I think this is what whent wrong...
Pieter, Unfortunately, we had two things working against us - that mechanism doesn't exist in portage yet, and in this case the new version of perl had compatibility issues with the previous version. There was a note in the einfo at the end of the perl 5.8 installation that should have pointed you to dev-lang/perl/files/libperl_rebuilder, which attempts to do that, with mixed levels of success.
Thanks, It is running on my servers atm. I did the emerge offsite so I didn't see the einfo (sorry) Thanks for the info, it seems to work nicely. Cheers, Pieter
