I ran both perl-cleaner --reallyall and emerge @preserved-rebuild which
only rebuilt some haskall stuff.    Perl cleaner had some problems, it
tried to rebuild some python  packages which at the time (before I did
the complete update_) had some problems because of the 3.3 to 3.4
change.  So I just  took the emerge line from the perl cleaner, ommitted
any  package which was a hard blocker andran the rest -- about 186
packages.  I can try to rerun perl-cleaner if you think that would help
any, since I now have updated the world.
