Portage recently updated Perl from 5.10.1 to 5.12.1 (and later -r1).
However, a crapload of files still remain in
/usr/lib/perl5/{site_perl,vendor_perl}/5.10.1. I found out the hard way
after trying to emerge openoffice (and everyone knows how painful that
one is):

What is the user required to do after updating Perl? elogv doesn't tell
me anything about upgrading.
