Description:   Opened: 2005-03-23 10:03 0000
It's come to my attention that we are offering ebuilds for perl modules that
are also installed by the core perl install, which wouldn't be a problem except
that in some cases the ebuild is marked stable only for a version older than
what is installed by perl, which results in the core version being trumped. 

Can you please mark test and mark stable dev-perl/CGI-3.05 (or greater :) ) -
this is the version that is shipped with perl 5.8.5 and 5.8.6, both of which
are stable for your platforms already (which means this module was built and
installed in the perl core).

Just to explain why we have ebuilds for these modules - apps come along that
require certain versions, and in order to make sure everyone with whatever
version of perl they have installed can emerge the app, we provide ebuilds for
these core modules so that everyone can be up to speed without forcing an
upgrade of perl first.

Marked ppc stable.

OK, closing this out, looks like everyone has marked it stable. Thanks
all!!!!!!
