We/me perl folks are working on it as quickly as we/i can. I'm slated to leave for vacation this weekend and would hate to drop a change like minimal support into the tree and then disappear for a week. that said, i plan on testing the new ebuilds tomorrow if nothing interrupts me. part of the hitch with the minimal support ebuild is that it will mean additions to perl-core/* that we haven't gauged yet.
