Try running "emerge -C $(qlist -IC virtual/perl-) first, then run a
deep update. If that fails, add vim and other packages to the list:

# emerge -1Dpuv perl
# emerge -1Dpuv perl vim ...

Also check your world file if it accidentally includes perl
dependencies. If deps need to be removed by emerge during an updates,
it will only do it if it is absent in the world file. That is, remove
"virtual/perl-*" and "perl-core/*" from the world file unless you added
them on purpose.
