Hi, Since upgrading to dev-lang/perl-5.16.0, I'm having problems with cgi scripts failing to locate ctime.pl. I tried re-merging perl 5.16 with no luck and as far as I know, it's absolutely not recommended to downgrade perl on Gentoo. Reproducible: Always My emerge --info gives : Portage 2.1.11.3 (default/linux/x86/10.0/server, gcc-4.6.3, glibc-2.15-r2, 3.3.8-gentoo i686)

Not quite a bug. See 'perldoc perl5120delta' and 'perldoc perl5160delta' (search for ctime.pl).
For this particular function, it *seems* POSIX::ctime is the proper substitute.
Are these CGI scripts part of a package Gentoo distributes? In other words, is there anything we can actually do about this?
Yes, I get these errors from dspam-web cgi script.
As far as dspam-web goes, this is a version bump request to 3.10.2. See http://dspam.git.sourceforge.net/git/gitweb.cgi?p=dspam/dspam;a=commitdiff;h=91f8435a7b59554f14b96329368a2df6f7614238.
Sorry my bad, I spend hours googling for my problem and couldn't come to this bug report on dspam... So I guess you can cancel this bug report and accept my apologies !

Nah, version bump is still valid and given low manpower of the herd, it didn't happen that long ago.
Closing as dspam-3.10.2-r1 is stable on all arches.
