I have found that after re-emerging/upgrading Perl, you have to 
re-emerge in the other programs as they will not be found, Parser.pm is 
one of them, but there is a script that can be run to fix that issue, 
when you emerge perl, that script is displayed at the end of the merge, 
just before it unmerges the older version, or if your not quick over the 
5 second break, you loose that vital info....
