I've tried to build perl with success until reaching this block in perl-5.8.2-r1.ebuild: ------------ if [ "${ROOT}" = "/" ] then ebegin "Converting C header files to the corresponding Perl format" cd /usr/include; find ./ -name "*.h" -type f -exec h2ph {} \; fi ----------- Same results in 5.8.3 ebuild. The output is repeated lots of time: Global symbol "%Config" requires explicit package name at /usr/bin/h2ph line 23. Global symbol "%Config" requires explicit package name at /usr/bin/h2ph line 300. Global symbol "%Config" requires explicit package name at /usr/bin/h2ph line 620. Global symbol "%Config" requires explicit package name at /usr/bin/h2ph line 623. Global symbol "%Config" requires explicit package name at /usr/bin/h2ph line 623. Global symbol "%Config" requires explicit package name at /usr/bin/h2ph line 680. Execution of /usr/bin/h2ph aborted due to compilation errors. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. emerge perl 2. 3. Actual Results: Almost all perl scripts fail to execute. This evening for example I've tried with emerge -k latex2html with following output during configure: Subroutine new redefined at /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/Config.pm line 33.

Juan: Can you try this on the command line: perl -e 'use Config; print scalar keys %Config, "\n";' Which version of perl is currently installed? Did the perl tests for Config pass when installing it? This is an odd problem and I certainly don't know the answer off hand. I'm going to check around upstream.
Thanks for your response, Eric. I've got perl-5.8.2-r1 and libperl-5.8.2 installed. The result of that command is simply 0, and I haven't see any error during ebuild until reaching pkg_postinstall(). Anyway, I'll try to reemerge it and take down every significant warning.
Juan, Did the reinstall help??
