perl-cleaner is now *mostly* redundant. Its only residual use is
catching circumstances where slot dependencies weren't adequately
provided early enough for them to work.( ~1% of cases )

dev-lang/perl also has additional papering over now that aims to
increase the number of situations where subgraphs of the dependency
graph that don't require C based extensions may continue to work while
portage is still "rebuild pending" on those parts of the graph.
