emerge php failed!

It seems like perl is blocking my emerge of php

root@azdaja mucky # emerge -p php

These are the packages that I would merge, in order:

Calculating dependencies ...done!
[ebuild U ] sys-libs/cracklib-2.7-r7 [2.7-r6]
[ebuild N ] app-crypt/mhash-0.8.18-r1

[ebuild N ] media-libs/t1lib-5.0.0-r2
[ebuild N ] dev-php/php-4.3.3-r1

How can I solve this? I really need php for my studies, but I cannot emerge it

I've tried USE="-perl" emerge php
but it still does the same output

You should upgrade perl first with emerge perl. Portage will complain about packages that block this upgrade. Simply unmerge them with emerge -C ExtUtils-MakeMaker. Afterwards emerge perl and php.
