Re: [gentoo-dev] where to put *.pm files

[Michael Cummings]

Perl modules needs to go under /path/to/perl-version/vendor_perl/ in that case 
(vendor_perl being the key). You can call perl within a function to get the 
perl version/vendor_path (see eclass).

And i'm going to leave the comment on submitting ebuilds dangling lest i start 
a flame war :)
