Hi.  So, trying to do a world update, I ran into two major problems --
one is perl and the other is python 3.12.  Here is what I get trying
to upgrade perl by itself:

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

Calculating dependencies  .... ....... done!
Dependency resolution took 28.07 s (backtrack: 3/200).

[ebuild     U  ] dev-lang/perl-5.40.0:0/5.40::gentoo
[5.38.2-r6:0/5.38::gentoo] USE="gdbm -berkdb -doc -minimal"
PERL_FEATURES="(-debug) -ithreads -quadmath" 13,616 KiB

Total: 1 package (1 upgrade), Size of downloads: 13,616 KiB

!!! Multiple package instances within a single package slot have been
    pulled
    !!! into the dependency graph, resulting in a slot conflict:

dev-lang/perl:0

  (dev-lang/perl-5.40.0:0/5.40::gentoo, ebuild scheduled for merge)

             (and 308 more with the same problems)

NOTE: Use the '--verbose-conflicts' option to display parents omitted
above

!!! The slot conflict(s) shown above involve package(s) which may need
    to
    !!! be rebuilt in order to solve the conflict(s). However, the
    following
    !!! package(s) cannot be rebuilt for the reason(s) shown:

  (dev-vcs/git-2.45.1-1:0/0::gentoo, installed): ebuild is masked or
  unavailable


It may be possible to solve this problem by using package.mask to
prevent one of those packages from being selected. However, it is also
possible that conflicting dependencies exist such that they are
impossible to satisfy simultaneously.  If such a conflict exists in
the dependencies of two different packages, then those packages can
not be installed simultaneously.

For more information, see MASKED PACKAGES section in the emerge man
page or refer to the Gentoo Handbook.

I tried with backtrack=1000, with no different results.

Thanks in advance for any suggestions.
