That happens when something other than portage created of changed the
listed files.

Installing stuff from CPAN will do it, I get it a lot with -emul
packages. Anything that even touches the files will trigger that warning.

To fully deal with them:

1. Check you have neither perl-5.16.3 or perl-5.18.2 installed. If so,
those 3 artifacts will never be used by anything
2. Check that you have xml-sax and encode installed for your latest
installed perl.
3. Delete the stuff perl-cleaner is moaning about




#2 is the important one
