Hi all,

Googling on a minor issue with perl-cleaner after the 5.20 upgrade, I
ran across this post:

Is this in fact true?

I checked mine, and found:

# grep -i libs /var/lib/portage/world
app-emulation/emul-linux-x86-baselibs
dev-libs/apr
dev-libs/apr-util
dev-libs/boost
dev-libs/elfutils
dev-libs/glib
dev-libs/gmp
dev-libs/libaio
dev-libs/libdnet
dev-libs/libevent
dev-libs/libffi
dev-libs/libgcrypt
dev-libs/libgpg-error
dev-libs/libksba
dev-libs/libpcre
dev-libs/libyaml
dev-libs/oniguruma
dev-libs/openssl
media-libs/libjpeg-turbo
media-libs/libpng
net-libs/libtirpc
net-libs/serf
sys-libs/cracklib
sys-libs/glibc
sys-libs/libcap
sys-libs/timezone-data

So, should I delete all of these? Even glib and glibc?

Also - is there a definitive guide (preferably for non programmer types)
on just how to properly clean the world file?

Thanks.
