Gentoo will provide you with a proper Perl by default.  You have to ask
for a threaded Perl (using a USE flag) if you find that you need it for
some reason - which you probably won't.

Interchange will work just fine with Gentoo's current Perl version
(5.8.4 at the moment, as you said).  You will still need to install
Bundle::Interchange or Bundle::InterchangeKitchenSink yourself, via
CPAN.

Good luck.
