Perl 5.8 is at end-of-life. |

Gentoo volunteers are *very* (PAINFULLY) slow in getting 5.10 into the |
| 32 |
official tree. They unfortunately need all the help they can get, since |
| 33 |
this is a major failure of Gentoo to "keep up" with the upstream |
| 34 |
developers and (FWIW) other "distros". This isn't news, BTW... |
| 35 |
|
| 36 |
Please report the error on b.g.o., so the perl herd (or whoever is |
| 37 |
really doing the work now) can fix the problem. Also, #gentoo-perl is |
| 38 |
the only place to get any real help on these gentoo-perl issues... |
| 39 |
(devolution to IRC "chat" being yet another systemic failure, IMO, but |
| 40 |
that's the place the folks making these mistakes may communicate with |
| 41 |
users). |
| 42 |
|
| 43 |
Better yet, take the plunge and go on to install 5.10.1 from the |
| 44 |
perl-experimental overlay (good luck with *that*) and report how you |
| 45 |
fixed any issues you come across. It's only going to get to be a worse |
| 46 |
mess unless everyone who is able picks up the slack for these guys. And |
| 47 |
you will have to upgrade eventually anyway... so why not now? |

My $.02, not terribly helpful though, I suppose. :( |
