I doubt his perl version is flip-flopping, he doesn't actually say |
| 25 |
that, only that perl-cleaner repeatedly want to rebuild perl. |

Don't try and "fix" things when the first ebuild crashes. Just resume |
| 30 |
skipfirst and let the emerge complete. Then see what remains. You |
| 31 |
might have to emerge @preserved-rebuild too - all the usual tools. |

If perl-cleaner still needs running, then post the full output, including any |
| 34 |
reasons why it wants to rebuild perl (changed USE etc) |
