Have you recently changed the "ithreads" USE flag on dev-lang/perl? If so,
then you will need to remerge all ebuilds that installed files in
/usr/lib*/perl5/vendor_perl/${PERL_VER}/${CHOST%%-*}-linux if "ithreads" was
disabled, and /usr/lib*/perl5/vendor_perl/${PERL_VER}/${CHOST%%-*}-linux-
thread-multi if "ithreads" was enabled.
Also, if you have recently upgraded perl, the same provisions apply.
NOTE: In the above expansion, the following applies [sorry if you already
know this]:
- "lib*" is lib on x86, lib64 on amd64
- ${PERL_VER} is your perl version, probably 5.8.8
- ${CHOST%%-*} is the part of the CHOST before the first "-":
* on x86, it will be one of i486, i586, or i686
* on amd64, it will be x86_64
If you aren't on x86 or amd64, I assume you can figure it out :).
