I originally stumbled across this issue a while ago, though I did not recognize what the actual problem was, when I was trying to install Bugzilla. And then today I was trying OpenLDAP and with some help from the Gentoo IRC we discovered that these critical files did not exist on my machine even after re-emerge-ing Perl. In the end I copied over the contents of CORE from a friend's computer and I am able to emerge openldap. It's probably pretty obvious that I have not created a bug entry before, so I apologize if I'm not giving any useful information. I also did attempt a search for this issue before creating this bug.

guybrush ~ # emerge -pv perl libperl These are the packages that would be merged, in order: Calculating dependencies... done! [ebuild U ] sys-devel/libperl-5.8.8-r2 [5.8.8-r1] USE="berkdb gdbm -debug -ithreads" 0 kB [ebuild R ] dev-lang/perl-5.8.8-r5 USE="berkdb build gdbm -debug -doc -ithreads -perlsuid" 0 kB Total: 2 packages (1 upgrade, 1 reinstall), Size of downloads: 0 kB So it looks like libperl wants to be upgraded. I did an emerge --search on libperl and it shows that currently I have 5.8.8-r1 installed.
Michael, It seems like you have the build USE flag set (check /etc/make.conf?). Try `USE="-build" emerge perl` and let us know if it works...
(In reply to comment #3) > Michael, > It seems like you have the build USE flag set (check /etc/make.conf?). > Try `USE="-build" emerge perl` and let us know if it works... > Odd, I did have build in my /etc/make.conf. Which is weird because the use flag list specifically says don't use it and I'm generally not one to go against docs when I have no idea what I'm doing. :) Alright now I have -build and I have unmerged dev-lang/perl and am going to remerge it. These are the packages it says it will install. guybrush ~ # emerge -av perl These are the packages that would be merged, in order: Calculating dependencies... done! [ebuild N ] dev-lang/perl-5.8.8-r5 USE="berkdb gdbm -build -debug -doc -ithreads -perlsuid" 0 kB [ebuild N ] perl-core/PodParser-1.35 96 kB [ebuild N ] perl-core/Test-Harness-3.10 173 kB And after it finished with dev-lang/perl I have the required files! Excellent. My apologies for filing a bug for a user error.
So let's close this bug. Thanks
