Hi!

After a sync today, I ran "emerge -Duvat world" and see for example:

[nomerge      ] dev-perl/DBD-mysql-3.0004  USE="-minimal perl%"
[nomerge      ]  dev-perl/DBI-1.51  USE="-minimal perl%"
[nomerge      ]   dev-perl/PlRPC-0.2018  USE="-minimal perl%"
[nomerge      ]    dev-perl/Net-Daemon-0.39  USE="-minimal perl%"

The "perl" USE flag is new. What does it do?

[16:34:41 [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~] $ euse -i perl
global use flags (searching: perl)
************************************************************
[+  D ] perl - Adds support/bindings for the Perl language.

local use flags (searching: perl)
************************************************************
no matching entries found

Hm. I don't understand. Add support/binding for the Perl language
in Perl modules? What would be built, if the perl Module Net-Daemon-0.39
had no perl support or binding?
