[gentoo-user] Cannot emerge mod_perl, cannot access CPAN, perl no longer sane

I just now attempted to emerge mod_perl, and had it fail early.  Apparently
it's touchy about a perl module Errno.pm
It makes reference to a kernel version I no longer even have installed, in
the file /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.8/Errno.pm.

So I tried to get to CPAN to see if there was something I could download.
It has the same problem.

Now here's an odd thing.  The version of Errno that's failing is timestamped
August 14th.  A version with the
current architecture, timestamped today, exists at
/usr/lib/perl5/5.8.8/i686-linux-thread-multi/Errno.pm

I don't see immediately how to get my system sane again.   I could just copy
the Errno.pm, but I'm not sure that's wise.


Anyway, the emerge failed like this:
