Some (all?) perl modules end up bound to a certain perl version. There's a script available (can't remember the name, ATM) that will automatically remove and remerge all your perl modules. Unfortunately, last I heard it ended up adding them all your your world file. (This is not a problem, per se, but generally perl modules are pulled in as dependencies so they fon't really belong in world.) You can always fix the packages individually by running: emerge -C <package> emerge -1 <package> (The -1 is for --oneshot which prevents the package from being added to the world file.)
