[gentoo-user] how to get data::util on gentoo

Hi.  I was trying to install the JIRA-client from cpan, but it wants
Data::Util and I can't find it in gentoo anywhere.  I tried to install
that from cpan, but it, in turn wants a number of modules which I don't
have and on we go.  Does gentoo have this or is there a way in cpan to
get all the dependencies?

Thanks in advance for any suggestions.
