+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #317823 +++ perl-xyne-arch is needed for archlinux's reflector package. A request for that will soon follow.
Created attachment 229741 [details] perl-xyne-common-2010.04.01.2.ebuild
Upstream replaced all of its perl software implementations with python. It also moved actual implementations of the core software modules from central packages (e.g., perl-xyn-common and perl-xyne-arch) to the relevant package itself (e.g., www-misc/reflector used to just install a ``import blah; blah.run()'' script but now the ``blah'' module is part of the reflector package.) Thus, this bug is no longer relevant.
