This solution looks promising. I don't like the "perl -MCPAN ..." suggestion earlier+
because it installs files outside of the control of portage.

calling
  *#* g-cpan -g Locale::Language

gives me  ** *The option you have chosen isn't supported without a configured overlay.

The homepage does not give a clue on how the overlay have to be specified.

I have a local repository defined as in
  https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Handbook:AMD64/Portage/
CustomTree#Defining_a_custom_repository

You have to set PORTDIR_OVERLAY explicitly. A hint on the homepage would be nice.
Maybe the tool can be redesigned to use the directory /etc/portage/repos.conf instead.

After that it works well.

Thanks for your help.

kind regards
