Thanks, I masked older versions of perl and it installed correctly!
I remember reading something about || dependencies preferring the first
one, but I was missing the "masked" part and I thought installing one of
the dependencies by hand would be enough to satisfy it. The ebuild(5)
manpage says:
|| ( Atom Atom ... )
When a package can work with a few different packages but
a virtual is not appropriate, this syntax can easily be
used.
[...]
Note that if any of the packages listed are already
merged, the package manager will use that to consider the
dependency satisfied.
