As dcopperl's Makefile is MakeMaker generated, it makes an update to
${D}/$(INSTALLARCHLIB)/perllocal.pod.  This file, if merged into the system,
clobbers the existing perllocal.pod, which I know happens with 3.3.1-r2, and
seemingly by all other versions.  By other perl modules,
perl-module_src_install includes a hack to workaround this, then updates the
system perllocal.pod through perl-module_updatepod.

The solution I found is to use kde-meta for src_unpack and configure, and
perl-module for the rest.  I'm attaching below a revised ebuild based on
3.3.1-r2; I would imagine the problem and solution would be similar in
3.4.0_beta*.

See also bug 83622, where I've proposed a different solution, involving a new
function in perl-module.eclass.

The eclass for perl-modules was updated today to include a specific function
just for perllocal.pod. See bug 83622 for more information. I think with the
suggested modifications this bug should be fix(able/ed). Included in the bug is
modified dcopperl ebuild :)
