As usual after upgrading perl, I ran the perl-cleaner tool. This time it stumbled upon a false positive: # perl-cleaner --all -- -pv *************************************************************************** You are supplying additional command line options for the package manager.

( dev-lang/perl:= ) so it already got rebuilt with the emerge run where the perl upgrade happened. Re-building irssi with perl-cleaner does not make the package disappear from perl-cleaner's radar on consecutive perl-cleaner runs.
Please reopen if you still have problems with perl-cleaner 2.30 or later.
