The summary says it all. My guess is that the error occurs because of a missing dependency. >>> Source unpacked. >>> Compiling source in /var/tmp/portage/DateTime-TimeZone-0.46/work/DateTime-TimeZone-0.46 ... * Using Module::Build Can't locate Module/Build.pm in @INC (@INC contains: /etc/perl /usr/lib64/perl5/vendor_perl/5.8.8/x86_64-linux /usr/lib64/perl5/vendor_perl/5.8.8 /usr/lib64/perl5/vendor_perl /usr/lib64/perl5/site_perl/5.8.8/x86_64-linux /usr/lib64/perl5/site_perl/5.8.8 /usr/lib64/perl5/site_perl /usr/lib64/perl5/5.8.8/x86_64-linux /usr/lib64/perl5/5.8.8 /usr/local/lib/site_perl .) at Build.PL line 3.

DEPEND="dev-perl/module-build... Perhaps you upgraded perl's recently without running perl-cleaner?
Just ran "perl-cleaner all" -> no success. Then updated module-build from version 0.26.11 to 0.28 -> emerging DateTime-TimeZone succeeds. Thanks for your input.
module-build-0.28 is stable across the board now, closing
