would adding dev-perl/XML-Parser be enough?
There seems to be more to it. checking for perl... no configure: WARNING: could not find perl If I install perl, it's looking for that dep. checking for perl module XML::Parser... no configure: error: missing some Perl modules required for testing Yes, if I install dev-perl/XML-Parser, it passes. But what is this "testing" the build system is complaining about? You should really dig into their build system deeper. It doesn't take that long to set up a chroot / container / vm to test these packages on a minimal stage3 setup without damaging your main system. https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Test_environment https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Package_testing
