i did try that package and it did not work, i looked through all of the portage and could not find the perl one. i kept getting an error that it was missing in one of the daemon scripts, i think it was the bandwidth statistics cant remember. but i had to install it manually to get it to work. i do not remember doing it when i last installed it so it has to be something to do with newer packages but i do remember specificly there being a perl-net-libidn package
