Obviously, a news item can change that process. If there is a news item with a different process, follow that for sure. Following the news item to the letter is the best way. The devs work out all the kinks and bugs before they post the news item.
Find the other commands (like perl-cleaner) that you really ought to run but are not part of emerge - CPAN predates even linux I believe, so they expect us to adjust to them ...
I followed the Python update to the letter, and it just refused to run ... until I ran perl-cleaner.
perl-cleaner is basically "emerge for perl" - it goes through and sorts out all your CPAN dependencies.
