Unstable perl is not needed here. This is a problem with autounmask, it's either unmasking unnecessarily or its "reason to unmask" is incorrect. Try with --autounmask=n and see what you get.
Nothing to do with net-analyzer/wireshark, then.
virtual/perl-Pod-Simple-3.280.0-r1 's RDEPEND should resolve to either of these: =dev-lang/perl-5.20* =dev-lang/perl-5.18* ~perl-core/Pod-Simple-3.280.0 The latter one is still unstable and so is the first one, so it should settle for the middle one, =dev-lang/perl-5.18*, but apparently that's blocked on your system?
Looks like the problem with with upgrading perl, after perl-cleaner and some emerges around I have emerged wireshark (and perl-Pod-Simple as a dependency)
