When attempting to emerge -u perl, emerge perl, or emerge -u world, Perl's ebuild results in "ext/IO/lib/IO/t/io_sock..............Died at ../ext/IO/lib/IO/t/io_sock.t line 35, <GEN5> line 2." Line 35 is the commented one, "eval { $SIG{ALRM} = sub { die; }; # Line 35 alarm 120; };" Attempting changing arch=~x86 does not provide a more recent version of Perl. I'm not discounting the possibility that there's something I should have changed and haven't, but a Google and Bugzilla search has only resulted in finding the same source code that I already had. It's possible this is related to bug #24991, but there's not enough detail there for me to determine if that's the case. This also occurs using 5.8.1-rc2 I'm not sure if this will be necessary, but it can't hurt to include. This is on an AMD Athlon. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Attempt to emerge [-u] perl, or emerge perl as a consequence of emerging another program Actual Results: This is identical to a portion of "details." "ext/IO/lib/IO/t/io_sock..............Died at ../ext/IO/lib/IO/t/io_sock.t line 35, <GEN5> line 2." is printed; line 35 is the commented one "eval { $SIG{ALRM} = sub { die; }; # Line 35 alarm 120; };" Expected Results: The check should have been routine, resulting in "ok" for io_sock.t.

I altered part of the code to read "local $SIG{ALARM}" instead of just "$SIG{ALRM}" and found that it was outputingg "Failed at test 12." I haven't yet figured out what test 12 actually is, as 12 is a counter which makes reference to several variables in different places. The only thing I could turn up through a Google search was attempting to recompile gcc or glibc (different pages said different things). I tried reemerging both, but that got the same result, as did emerge -e world.
Test 12 in io_sock seems to be sending UDP packets to localhost. Do you have iptables installed, or is there some reason why UDP packets would not be sendable to 127.0.0.1?
IP tables was not installed. Not sure about having been unable to send or receive UDP packets. Ultimately, I wound up reinstalling because too many things depended on Perl.
This is a shot in the dark, but can anybody affected with this problem check and/or enable the real-time clock in their kernel?
I also have a similar problem. I also have an athlon. I _do_ have rtc enabled. I _do_ have iptables built as a module, but don't believe I have any services started that have loaded the module. valinor src # emerge -DU world [...] ext/IO/t/io_poll.....................ok ext/IO/t/io_sel......................ok ext/IO/t/io_sock.....................accept failed: Connection timed out at ../ext/IO/t/io_sock.t line 63.

*** Bug 33695 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***
Please reopen this bug if it is still persisting in perl 5.8.2, which is the only unmasked perl in the tree now. That, and it's been many months since any activity and I'm cleaning up today :)
I am just doing a stage 1 on my router and I ran into this problem, too (2004.0 live cd). I could get around setting up my /etc/hosts file (127.0.0.1 localhost). This is at least not mentioned in the x86 Quick install doc, I don't know about the other guides. Maybe there should be a default host file in the stage1 tarball? cu Sebastian
got the same thing on a brand new 2004.1 ebuild... was also able to fix by entering something in /etc/hosts. perhaps we need a simple /etc/hosts in the stage1 tarball?
Same for me. 2004.1 installing perl-5.8.4. Creating a simple /etc/hosts file fixed the problem.
