I assume they would have a similar issue on their build machines. They would have to rebuild all packages which depend on perl when changing major versions. As an end-user, you would not notice it because the new packages just get pulled down automatically. It's the difference between a source-based distro (Gentoo) and a more traditional distro (Debian, Arch, etc).
