When running emerge -e @world containing a Perl update udev fails to build with: checking for XML::Parser... configure: error: XML::Parser perl module is required for intltool !!!

The ebuild dev-util/intltool depends on dev-perl/XMl-Parser, but sys-fs/udev does not depend on dev-util/intltool, which brakes the dependency graph. In consequence, dev-perl/XMl-Parser is not re-build after a Perl upgrade and sys-fs/udev fails to build. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. update portage tree to contain a Perl upgrade 2. run emerge -e @world Actual Results: sys-fs/udev fails to build because of broken XML::Parser Expected Results: dev-perl/XMl-Parser have to be rebuild before udev when running emerge -e @world.
first of all, udev-212-r1 is not in Portage, secondly the current stable, udev-216's ebuild has a workaround to skip intltool dependency, and intltool is not required for building udev just emerge --sync and emerge -1 XML-Parser
