I've tried with g-cpan-0.16.2 and 0.16.4 with the same results:

>>> Verifying ebuild manifests
!!! A file is not listed in the Manifest:
'/usr/local/portage/dev-perl/DateTime-Format-RFC3339/DateTime-Format-RFC3339-1.0.5.ebuild'
!!! A file is not listed in the Manifest:
'/usr/local/portage/dev-perl/DateTime-Format-Atom/DateTime-Format-Atom-1.0.2.ebuild'

I've tried several times with some config variations but always with
the above error when trying to emerge.

I've done that but with the above results:

GCPAN_OVERLAY="/usr/local/portage"
GCPAN_CAT="dev-perl"

I've never had very good luck with g-cpan.  I thought there were a lot
of dev-perl ebuilds in portage for CPAN modules and that g-cpan was
for those that hadn't been added to portage yet?
