I've added a message about Switch to the package mask, so people should get informed now. # Andreas K. Huettel (29 Jun 2014) # Mask perl-5.12 and related package versions prior to removal # If you require the Switch package, emerge perl-core/Switch =dev-lang/perl-5.12* =perl-core/Module-CoreList-2.800.0 =virtual/perl-ExtUtils-MakeMaker-6.56 =virtual/perl-Module-CoreList-2.800.0 virtual/perl-Switch -- Andreas K.
