Starting my regular Sat system update, 'eix-sync' told me (equivalent) :
root:524 ~> eix ^perl$
[U] dev-lang/perl
Available versions: 5.20.2(0/5.20) ~5.20.2-r1(0/5.20) ~5.22.0(0/5.22)
~5.22.1(0/5.22) 5.22.2(0/5.22) ~5.24.0(0/5.24) ~5.24.0-r1(0/5.24) {berkdb debug
doc gdbm ithreads}
Installed versions: 5.20.2([2015-10-04 11:34:10])(gdbm -berkdb -debug -doc
-ithreads)
So I tried 'emerge -pv perl' & was told the current version of (G)Vim
required the earlier installed version of Perl.
After updating to the latest testing version of (G)Vim, I tried again :
root:522 ~> emerge -pv perl
These are the packages that would be merged, in order:
Calculating dependencies... done!

Portage is refusing to update to the latest stable Perl,
whether I have an earlier version of Vim (-13xx) or the latest version.
How do I update Perl without dropping Vim ?
