It seems to me "dev-lang/perl-5.34" was made stable and it is causing a problem.

I've tried to block perl-5.34 but I'm getting another conflict:

!!! Multiple package instances within a single package slot have been pulled
!!! into the dependency graph, resulting in a slot conflict:

I would do two things --- put --verbose-conflicts  in your emerge
command and then remove all the masked packages that you have done.
Then you will get a better picture of what is really happening.  I
would definitely update all your tool chains in this process, maybe
seperately if you have not done it for a very long time.

I know its a mess with that icu business, but you maybe stuck -- it
might be easier to do a re install.

First re-sync and then run:

emerge -uaNDv @system

This should bring your toolchain up to date.  Then carry on with @world.  
There were some perl updates recently and a perl-cleaner is probably necessary 
in the aftermath.

Adding --backtrack=100 to emerge fixed this for me, but its
effectiveness will depend on how confused your portage is...

Are you upgrading @world or just dev-lang/perl directly? If it's the
latter, try to upgrade po4a at the same time.

From a quick glance at the po4a ebuild and the perl-module eclass, the
default seems to be a run-time dependency on perl with the same slot and
subslot as the perl present when the package was installed, which would
explain why po4a needs perl:0/5.32.

(In this case, it will probably be an upgrade (as 0.57-r1 is stable for
amd64), but I should have written "upgrade or rebuild".)

On a few servers, --backtrack=200 is needed...

Hi,

I have been hit by this on a few systems. Try upgrading perl with
--nodeps and then run "perlcleaner --all" then retry emerging any other
packages left finishing with "perlcleaner --all" again.


Other than one system with a missing g-cpan ebuild its worked out fine
so far.

What worked is:
root # emerge -uDNavq --with-bdeps=y --backtrack=100 --autounmask-keep-masks=y @world
root # perl-cleaner --all
