I saw the -DPERL5 missing and I have noted that it was strange. I may get there. I haven't uninstalled anything that I didn't explicitly load myself. Additionally, if there is something missing, it isn't being caught by portage's dependency checking. I have noted that compiling perl manually without any of the patches applied by the ebuild process compiles correctly. I'm in the process of modifying the ebuild (I copied it to /usr/local/portage, bumped it to -r13 and masked it) and back tracking through the patches and defines that are enabled during the ebuild process. The other thing that I discovered is that perl on my other Gentoo box exhibits the same behavior if I run my test program against the bad Config.pm So it doesn't look to me like a machine specific problem.
