For the time being, collision protect is not suggested when emerging dev-perl ebuilds. In the future, there is an anticipated addition to portage for versioned virtuals that I hope will allow us to get over this hump. The "problem" is that we provide ebuilds for some perl modules that are also installed with the core install of perl. The reason for this is that not all users are prepared to upgrade their perl installs, but may want to install a package that depends on a newer version of a module than their perl install provided. We also do this in the even of security bugs, to provide a copy of the module that is newer/cleaner/safer than may have been installed with their version of perl. Unfortunately, this results in a file collision when it comes to the man pages (the actual module code is installed in a different directory than the core perl install, so isn't part of this collision). I'm sorry for the inconvenience, and we hope to have this resolved in the future, but at the moment there is nothing we can do.
