Paul, Please emerge rsync and try again. I've corrected the perl Makefile line in the ebuild to conform to what the new MakeMaker is expecting. My apologies for the inconvenience. The new version of libwww is the same as the current one since this was an in place fix that only affected fresh installs (no need to force all users to re-emerge if they don't have to).
*** Bug 7816 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***
Is this fixed for you?
