This looks like a bug in the perl distribution to me: man perl5300delta claims "Locale::Codes has been upgraded from version 3.56 to 3.57." and man perl5301delta neither mentions "Locale" nor "Codes", yet the whole cpan/Locale-Codes subdirectory is missing from 5.30.1. Although it should not be hard to write an ebuild as a temporary workaround, I suggest to file a bug at perl itself.

It has IPv6 info in several places, including the ability to turn IPv6 off. A little tip. If you buy a used modem with user/password info already there, it does connect and look like it is internet active but it isn't. With old user/password it connects but it doesn't allow any connections. Sort of weird but once I put in my user/password info, it worked like it should. Didn't expect it to connect at all really. The router will be here Monday I think. Thanks to all who helped on this. Dale :-) :-)

No need for an ebuild/emerge. See...
https://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-t-693473.html for a solution
template. Someone needed "IO:Stty" and the solution was to run the
following from the commandline as root
perl -MCPAN -e shell
cpan > install IO::Stty
exit
In your case it looks like you need (as root)
perl -MCPAN -e shell
cpan > install Locale::Language
cpan > install Locale::Codes
exit
Installing Locale::Language may also install Locale::Codes ; I simply
don't know.
Note that the first time you run perl like this it, it may ask for
config/setup options. The final line will be...
"Would you like to configure as much as possible automatically? [yes]"
Hit the {ENTER} key to accept defaults.

[gentoo-user] Perl 5.30.1 Locale::Language missing
Hello, after an perl upgrade (5.28 --> 5.30) my web application is no more working. It is missing Locale::Language. After a view to the perl source it indeed have been removed. A short search seems to state the the used have to install the packages Locale::Language Locale::Codes from CPAN instead. Due i am not a master of constructing perl-ebuilds - anyone already have build the ebuilds and share it with me ? Kind regards Petric

Most of the time, -1 works since I use oldconfig a lot. On occasion tho, I'll have a -2, like this time, or even a -3. I don't get that far as often as I used to tho. The reason I didn't include a command that was tried, I had so many of them that I tried and they were spread over several different tabs in konsole. I tried changing names of kernels, including locations and no telling what else. If I posted them, even I wouldn't be able to make much sense of it. I'm sure no one else could if I couldn't. I fiddled with that for hours. I don't like going back to a older version since eventually it will be gone but I did in this case. Still, I need to figure out the new one since I will have to use it later on. I use gentoo-sources. I update sometimes but given that I don't reboot much, it may take a long while to test a kernel. I've had times where I build a kernel but later do a newer one and end up never using other updated kernels. I use uprecords to tell me what kernels I've used and for how long. I keep two or three known and well tested kernels around just in case. Others I delete if /boot starts taking up to much space. I start by removing older kernels that have never been used, then older kernels and work my way up until I'm left with three or so. I also make sure my video drivers will work with updated kernels as well. Sometimes the newest ones don't. I have older cards as a general rule. I'm going to play with this some more another day. Health issues has me staying off this thing a bit. Dale :-) :-)
