[emerge][installing] how to manage the "perl is not a valid win32 application" error??

[Alberto Curro]

Hi again,

  at last! I've been able to make an emerge qt.

  Appart from modifying some MD5 for some installers (pexports and another
one), I've to install by hand the mysql-pkg, because qt refused to compile,
outputting some errors related to "mysqldb_" functions not being found.

  Now I'm doing an "emerge kdelibs": wish me luck :)
