I'd love to use emerge for all my cpan needs, but it's hard to believe |

that's possible. :( |

It's usual for me to take some module from CPAN just to evaluate it in |
| 14 |
several minutes and drop. Installing it manually isn't an option because |
| 15 |
it may need up to 20-30 other modules as dependencies. Ask in list to add |
| 16 |
them in portage has a little sense because chances are I'll not need it |
| 17 |
after a day and it's hard to wait for several days until it will be added. |

Thanks, I'll check it. But, in my experience, cpan is still works better |
| 23 |
than cpanplus. Also I need to use local overlay with our internal modules, |
| 24 |
and so I've to use cpansite instead of cpan/cpanplus. |

I've not checked that, but I expect even with modules installed by portage |
| 28 |
we still have to manually re-emerge perl-core/Scalar-List-Utils after |
| 29 |
re-emerging dev-lang/perl to work around that bug... |
