If you are experiencing some problems on updating dev-util/intltool on Gentoo, this is the message that is shown:
checking for perl... /usr/bin/perl checking for perl >= 5.8.1... 5.10.1 checking for XML::Parser... configure: error: XML::Parser perl module is required for intltool
In other emerges if its failing on some perl module check during ./configure, its maybe because dev-lang/perl was updated an its modules weren’t compiled against the new one, on my case I just runned the command:
perl-cleaner --all
It will rebuild all your modules against your new perl, then you can re-emerge dev-util/intltool.
