Have either of you recently updated perl, itself? If so, please give /usr/portage/dev-lang/perl/files/libperl_rebuilder a run (it WILL take awhile) which will make sure all perl modules are rebuilt properly. It sounds as if perl isn't checking the proper INC directories. If libperl_rebuilder doesn't work, please post the output of 'perl -V' and 'find /usr/lib/perl5 -name \*Parser\* -print' here.
/usr/portage/dev-lang/perl/files/libperl_rebuilder worked The bug does not show any more.
