8 At its lamest, perl-cleaner can go through and re-emerge modules
9 installed under old perl's for you; it can re-emerge packages that
10 linked against your old libperl.so; it can redo/clean your .ph files (if
11 you need them, you know what they are, if not, most likely not); it can
12 run on your computer for the better part of a day depening on the number
13 of packages and scope of the rebuild ;)
