Trying to "emerge evolution" on my system wants to install gnome-extra/gal. Without dev-perl/XML-Parser installed, the gal installation reports: checking for perl... /usr/bin/perl configure: error: XML::Parser perl module is required for intltool !!! ERROR: gnome-extra/gal-1.99.11 failed. !!! Function econf, Line 362, Exitcode 1 !!! econf failed "emerge dev-perl/XML-Parser" before installing "gal" fixes this problem. Please list this as an explicit dependency in the ebuild. Thanks, --ryan.

Added missing intltool dep (implies XML-parser) to gal-1.99.11, that should take care of this. thanks for the report.
