Wow, you're just getting the split KDE upgrade now?  How long has it been since you -Syu'd?

Anyway, replacing perl-io-zlib with core/perl should do the trick I think.

haha yeah I guess it has been a while, I didn't realise.  So what do I do to use core/perl?

Cheers

pacman -Rd perl-io-zlib && pacman -Sy perl should do it.
