Have you upgraded perl recently?

Hey, what i must to do, to solve this problem?

[Comment 4 Chuck Short (RETIRED) 2003-11-02 18:44:13 UTC]

Have you tried re-emerging irssi because I dont have any problems on this
side?

[Comment 5 Chuck Short (RETIRED) 2003-11-02 18:45:08 UTC]

Also check to see if you have symbol.pm. If not your copy of perl might be
having some problems.

[Comment 6 Bash 2003-11-03 05:46:53 UTC]

Yes, i am re-emerge irssi several times. With USE="perl" and USE="-perl"...
With PERL it don't work :(((


bash@blackhole bash $ locate Symbol.pm
/usr/lib/perl5/5.8.1/i686-linux/Encode/Symbol.pm
/usr/lib/perl5/5.8.1/Symbol.pm
               ^^^^^
And irssi whant to find it in 5.8.0
:(

[Comment 7 Aron Griffis (RETIRED) 2003-11-11 07:24:50 UTC]

It's working fine here with USE=perl and perl-5.8.1.  I'm guessing you have
something strange with your perl installation.  What does the following say?

   qpkg -v -I dev-lang/perl

[Comment 8 Chuck Short (RETIRED) 2003-11-14 19:31:11 UTC]

I havent had any problems here as well. Please check your perl installation as Aron said. If its still problem then re-open bug.

[Comment 9 Bash 2003-11-23 19:55:18 UTC]
