It has been released!

Perl 5.20 itself is in tree (with ported patchset), masked. And it shouldn't be unmasked until all perl-core and virtual packages fixed/added.

Is there a tracker for that?

This ticket is now a tracker for perl 5.20 bump.
Comment 4 Jasper Bryant-Greene 2014-09-28 01:40:02 UTC
I'm not sure of the correct place to mention this, so my apologies if it should be elsewhere.

I upgraded to 5.20 today. The Perl upgrade triggered a number of packages to be rebuilt, as expected, but it appeared to miss the following packages which were installed prior to the upgrade and needed to be manually rebuilt (emerge --oneshot packagename):

Time-HiRes
MIME-Base64
Sys-Syslog
DBI
DBD-Pg

In addition, 5.20 deprecates the built-in CGI::Cookie module, which causes a warning to be printed each time it's used. The warning suggests installing CGI::Cookie from CPAN, but I would rather install it through Portage; however, there does not appear to be a package in the tree.

You really /shouldn't/ reuse bug reports for new purposes. Ever.
