Hey, all --

I have two systems, one of which got perl 5.16.1, somehow. My other
system is still at perl 5.12... and I'm having a heck of a time trying
to upgrade that system to 5.16.1.

Is there some trick that I should recall? 

This is what I tried:

 USE="-build" emerge -v =dev-lang/perl-5.16.1

And this is what I got:

  (dev-lang/perl-5.12.4-r1::gentoo, installed) pulled in by
    ~dev-lang/perl-5.12.4 required by
  (virtual/perl-i18n-langtags-0.35::gentoo, installed)

  (dev-lang/perl-5.16.1::gentoo, ebuild scheduled for merge) pulled in
  by =dev-lang/perl-5.16.1
    >=dev-lang/perl-5.16 required by
  (dev-perl/IO-Socket-SSL-1.840.0::gentoo, installed)
  =dev-lang/perl-5.16* required by
  (virtual/perl-digest-base-1.170.0-r1::gentoo, installed) (and 144
  more with the same problems)

144 more with the same problem? There must be some incantation that
handles all that, no?

Thanks for any pointers, foax!

Cheers,

- Michael Higgins
