virtual/perl-File-Spec-3.480.0.ebuild:
RDEPEND="
         || ( =dev-lang/perl-5.20.1* ~perl-core/${PN#perl-}-${PV} )
         !<perl-core/${PN#perl-}-${PV}
         !>perl-core/${PN#perl-}-${PV}-r999
"

this says that's you don't need any perl-core of this, because if you 
have perl 5.20.1* then it's already included in dev-lang/perl itself.

Emerge all your virtual/perl* packages and they will unmerge perl-core 
packages that are already included in the dev-lang/perl and then run 
perl-cleaner again.
