ack requires the perl File-Next package to correctly install but it is not listed as a dependency in the package. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. emerge ack-1.92 without File-Next installed Actual Results: The emerge fails Expected Results: A successful emerge.
The ebuild states: DEPEND=">=dev-perl/File-Next-1.02 what went wrong in your case that it emerged without it?

I can't come up with an explanation for this unfortunately.
I think you had an old perl installed, and didn't run perl-cleaner (or it didn't finish). Check if you have anything inside /Users/nosmo/Portage/usr/lib/perl5 besides 5.12.2?
Hmm, yeah, there was another version kicking around that disappeared after a run of the cleaner. Sorry for the bogus report!
happy to hear the problem can be logically explained :)
