21 You are using something which is not recommended by developers, that is
22 '-- <extra portage parameters>', telling perl-cleaner to pass
23 additional package manager parameters, not sure why is not recommended,
24 but it warns you, also in 'perl-cleaner --help' or man page it says it
25 is not recommended to do that.
26
27 There is probably case when you can do
28 something wrong, but also it can be safe too passing some parameters
29 which don't affect build like '--ask'.
30 One case which may be problematic (or not, just guessing) is --jobs=N,
31 what will happen if one perl module depend on the other, and they are
32 building at the same time?
