ive cleaned things up and added 2.4.1 to the tree, cheers

http://sources.gentoo.org/sys-apps/collectl/collectl-2.4.1.ebuild?rev=1.1

I've emerged collectl and the emerge finished fine, but when launching
'collectcl', I get the following error.

---

Use of uninitialized value in concatenation (.) or string at /usr/bin/collectl
line 135.
Can't locate /usr/share//Syslog.pm in @INC (@INC contains: /etc/perl
/usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.8.8/i686-linux /usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.8.8
/usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.8/i686-linux
/usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.8 /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl
/usr/lib/perl5/5.8.8/i686-linux /usr/lib/perl5/5.8.8 /usr/local/lib/site_perl
.) at /usr/bin/collectl line 135.

---

Obivously, it can't find Syslog.pm under /usr/share, and the source code says
'/usr/share/${PM}/Syslog.pm' but PM is rather an empty string at that moment.

By truncating that require statement to 'Sys/Syslog.pm', then it loads, but the
next 'formatit.h' fails to load again, once again by the lack of $PM being a
useful string.

How did get people have this working?

Please Open a new bug. This bug was only used for the ebuild creation.
