There are two possibilities here. The first is that XML-Parser is
not installed. If so, then "emerge XML-Parser" will install it.

The second possibility is that XML-Parser is already installed but
is included with the older Perl modules. Perl has just been updated
from 5.8 to 5.10 and XML-Parser may still be associated with 5.8.
If this is the case, then "perl-cleaner --modules" will remove the
old XML-Parser module and install the new.

emerge -av1 XML-Parser

I the last update I had several failures due to perl packages missing,
they weren't actually missing, just in incorrect perl version and needed
remerging...

Is there something along the lines of python-updater for perl?

I just remerged the perl packages everytime something complained
(wasn't that much), usually replace :: with - to get the package name ;)

I was a bit more lucky, as the packages that failed for me didn't check
for the modules in configure, but just failed somewhere in the build
with a "XXXX not found" message, so I just ran qfile `locate XXXX` to
get the package...

I suspect you've been hit by the recent perl upgrade to 5.10 and haven't
updated all the modules. Have you tried running `perl-cleaner --all`?

Thanks,
I did perl<TAB><TAB> and was looking for something along the
lines of update or rebuild, but cleaner din't look very relevant ;)

Thanks Frank and all who replied. "perl-cleaner --modules" did the trick
Thanks again
