4 Why do I find my gentoo system upgrading from perl 5.6.1 to perl 5.8.0 (a good
5 thing, since 5.8.0 includes patches for many, many bad bugs), then a couple
6 of days later wanting to downgrade back to perl 5.6.1?

8 Please, if you're going to make version changes of this magnitude, include an
9 explanation somewhere, preferably in the ChangeLog. The absence of an
10 explanation does not inspire confidence. Something as simple as "perl 5.8.0
11 had problems, downgrading to perl 5.6.1" would be more than enough.

13 Thanks, and keep up the good work!
