13 Here is a generically applicable approach to handling upgrades in
14 situations where a major dev-lang/perl update is queued.
15
16 1) emerge -auDN @world
17 2) If previous step fails: emerge -auDN --backtrack=30 @world
18 3) If previous step fails:
19 a) emerge --deselect $(qlist -IC 'perl-core/*')
20 b) Return to step #2
21 4) perl-cleaner -all
22 5) If previous step fails, follow the instructions in the error message
23 6) Re-select any perl modules that you may have explicitly requested
24
25 The final step won't apply to you unless you a Perl hacker.
