For some reason my mostly-stable-slightly-testing system
is trying to merge *UNstable* dev-lang/perl.
I do not have a package.unmask file

Specifically it wants me to unmask
=dev-lang/perl-5.20.0-r1

An eix on the same system (with no sync in between) does not even show
such a version as existing.  I realize I must be misreading some
output, but I can't find my error.

Help would be greatly appreciated.

The eix command and output is short

e6510 ~ # eix dev-lang/perl
[I] dev-lang/perl
     Available versions:  5.16.3(0/5.16) ~5.18.2(0/5.18) [M]~5.20.0(0/5.20) 
{berkdb debug doc gdbm ithreads}
     Installed versions:  5.16.3(12:50:06 PM 09/09/2013)(berkdb gdbm -debug 
-doc -ithreads)
     Homepage:            http://www.perl.org/
     Description:         Larry Wall's Practical Extraction and Report Language

The emerge output is long but I worry that I might prune something
that I mistakenly think is irrelevant so I am including it all

e6510 ~ # emerge --update --newuse --deep --with-bdeps=y @world

These are the packages that would be merged, in reverse order:

Calculating dependencies... done!

NOTE: The --autounmask-keep-masks option will prevent emerge
      from creating package.unmask or ** keyword changes.

Use --autounmask-write to write changes to config files (honoring
CONFIG_PROTECT). Carefully examine the list of proposed changes,
paying special attention to mask or keyword changes that may expose
experimental or unstable packages.
