1 I have a light minimalish system (noX) and not a lot installed but for a the
2 last few weeks, when I try to update with emerge -vuD world

4 It caves about a perl versioning problem, and specifically about:
5 perl-core/Module-Build-0.400.0

7 Abbreviated output:
8 ,----

26 | *** BOOTSTRAPPING version ***
27 | Checking prerequisites...
28 | build_requires:
29 | ! Parse::CPAN::Meta (1.40) is installed, but we need version >=
30 | 1.4401
31 | ERRORS/WARNINGS FOUND IN PREREQUISITES. You may wish to install the versions

34 | Could not create MYMETA files

38 | These additional prerequisites must be installed:

52 What is installed is:

54 ,----
55 | # eix -Ic|grep Parse.*Meta
56 | [I] perl-core/Parse-CPAN-Meta (1.440.400@05/03/12): Parse META.yml and other
57 | similar CPAN metadata files
58 | [I] virtual/perl-Parse-CPAN-Meta (1.440.400@04/25/12): Virtual for Parse-CPAN-Meta
