My perl seems broken. This is an older machine that has had quite a number of perl versions on it. The problem is that when trying to build dev-perl/Tk-JPEG-Lite, it is pulling in multiple perl versions (see the compile line below). It seems that MMutil.pm is detecting a perl version >=5.00565 which I think is correct, but the error the emerge generates is "Unrecognized switch: --center (-h will show valid options)" so I suspect it is pulling in one of the older perl versions.
I have run perl-rebuilder, revdep-rebuild and perl-cleaner multiple times in the past so I dont think this should occur. qpkg -i and equery l show only the one perl version installed. rattus Tk-JPEG-Lite-2.01403 # equery l dev-lang/perl [ Searching for package 'perl' in 'dev-lang' among: ] * installed packages [I--] [ ] dev-lang/perl-5.8.5-r4 (0) Should I manually purge the older 5.8.0 stuff and rerun the utilities, or is that "a bad idea"? How best to fix?
