Re: [gentoo-core] Re: [gentoo-dev] perl-5.6.1-r6 masked, needs testing on non i686's

Pieter,

	Thanks!!! The -r6 is the only one that matters right now. While
doing the initial test emerge of r6 yesterday, I saw the same problems I
am having with the ebuild of 8 that I'm working on. I think 8 is going
to need a rewrite from scratch instead of just an adaption of the
pervios perl install. And thanks for catching my foobar with the -r in
the header :)
