What gives you that idea? The perl herd is probably one of the least |

often outdated packages of all of Gentoo, because of the ease of trivial |
| 7 |
bumps. |

Updated every 6 hours if there are changes in upstream CPAN. |

This is one of those cases where upstream's version numbering never made |
| 22 |
g-cpan work in the first place. |

|
| 24 |
The generated ebuilds needed the following added: |
| 25 |
MY_P="${PN}-v${PV}" |
| 26 |
S="${WORKDIR}/${MY_P}" |
| 27 |
|
| 28 |
I generated the ebuilds with my copy of g-cpan, available here: |

And they are committed now too. |
