Since we no longer support 5.6.X at all, these ebuilds do little more than complicate people's understandings of what they need on their box for a functioning perl. Unless there are objections, I'd like to remove these packages in the next week (I'd say Monday, but I expect if there are going to be protests, I'll hear about it soon enough).
