The 'template' file it needs isn't around (it doesn't seem to be in that |

directory). |

If you could roll this into something like g-cpan.pl, it would go a long |
| 22 |
way. The general policy for CPAN and PEAR packages is that we don't want |
| 23 |
to pollute the tree with adding them until they are needed by another |
| 24 |
package. That said, I've broken that rule a few times myself when I |
| 25 |
wanted a package in Gentoo so I could easily deploy some custom software |
| 26 |
to many Gentoo machines (which is being donated to open-source soon ;-). |
