IIRC rxvt-unicode and vim embed perl and probably do also need to be
rebuilt... Kevin should know better than I do. The update from 5.8 to
5.10 necessitated more rebuilds, but here it is a minor update, so that
perl modules with binary libraries should not necessitate a rebuild. I'd
really like to release 5.10.1, as I am not quite happy with 5.10.0
(because of the incomplete provides array and the fact that 5.10.0 was
quite heavily patched). I'm ready to help with the perl rebuilds for
both arches, of course.

I am sorry for this inconvenience, but I did commit the changes in trunk
before I knew about the forthcoming db rebuild. I should have warned you
on this ML about it some days ago, though... Apologies!
