can't emerge x11-server or startx

[DarBarf]

ok.. so, as you may have guessed, i am a total gentoo n00b. i've been using it for about two months or so.
this morning i tried to emerge --update world. this usually takes a long time, so i left the room. when i returned i learned that i could not startx! i've been using enlightenment (e16) and made is so i would just type startx and E would start up. now i can't even startkde either.. i dont' personally like kde, but anything would be better than using lynx from a terminal to post this message. HA!

when i try to emerge xorg-server, i get something like:
checking for XML::Parser... configure: error: XML::Parser perl module is required for intltool
!!!please attach...
!!! ERROR: x11-misc/xkeyboard-config-0.8 failed

if this makes sense to anyone, could you please help out the n00b? all i want is my gentoo box back
if you need more info just ask
thanks

Please see Can't emerge (maybe deps problem).
