A better approach could be a provides in perl-base (and perl) about which
version are correctly supported, ie the following provides for perl-base :

perl-base = 2:5.8.0
perl-base = 2:5.6.1
perl-base = 2:5.6.0

So that gaim will not be removed again, the same is problably needed for perl
too.

I let Pixel decide if he wants this, maybe I missed something about that.
