I find doing `emerge --oneshot --nodeps perl` then `perl-cleaner --all` was faster. Portage would chug for over five minutes on some of my machines trying to resolve the dependencies. By the time it figured out what it wanted to do, the manual way I used was almost finished. (Do note the CPU is slow on the machines I use but compiling is done with distcc so that was done relatively quickly.) Dan
