24 No, keeping linux doesn't help. That was the case when I noticed the problem first. Also the /bin/perl and /usr/bin/perl are not known to portage, i.e. the files are not listed anywhere, but still the perl install mechanism seems to copy them there directly, without telling anybody. Still I investigated the build mechanism, and couldn't find anything suspicious...
