In Gentoo terms, (assuming you have gentoolkit installed, if you don't
you can just "emerge gentoolkit") you'll want to look at the output of:

equery list libwww-perl

Should look something like this:

callan at wizard callan $ equery list libwww-perl
Searching for package 'libwww-perl' in all categories among:
 * installed packages
 [I--] [  ] dev-perl/libwww-perl-5.79 (0)

5.800 is "~" masked for all platforms. So, unless you have "~x86" in
your USE flags ("egrep 'USE' /etc/make.conf"), you should have 5.79
installed. I'll assume that you know how to emerge specific ebuilds if
indeed you do have "~x86" in your USE flags. If not, let me know and I
can tell you how to do it.

Ciao.
