Whatever I do, g-cpan.pl ignores PORTDIR_OVERLAY="/usr/local/portage" which is defined in make.conf. It created ebuilds in /perl-gcpan (i.e. root directory) and subsequently fails to install them since it fails to find dependencies.

please post emerge info, as well as the output of env. and getting an error on line 858 is related to the fact that it can't see where you have portdir_overlay set or your tempdir

Thanks :) I meant to add you can cut anything out of the env part that might be sensitive (nothing strikes me as such, but you know). Mostly I was verifying you weren't overriding the make.conf values. And /usr/local/portage is a regular directory, right? This was run as root (ak, even if it wasn't, it should have been emerge to complain, not the script). The symptoms looks like the overlay dir is getting dropped, so all that is left for a value is /perl-gcpan (hence the building in root). g-cpan -vg (verbose generate) would let us see a bit more detail of what it's doing while it bombs (without trying to do the final install), though you'd want to (re)move the directory it created last time so it doesn't prematurely exit with "already exists"...then again, even with the directory there, we should see it tell us where it thinks your overlay is... If you find yourself on irc in the next little bit, you know my nick. I'm going to setup a new overlay for /usr/local/portage just to be sure it isn't some weird quirk of portage and usr being in the path or something (you know, random quirkiness). Sad part is this exact same package (was that your bug?) for the older g-cpan was what prompted a slew of rewrites to adapt, and i've installed this ebuild via g-cpan.
emerge -p perl-gcpan/Bundle-W3C-Validator These are the packages that I would merge, in order: Calculating dependencies ...done! [ebuild R ] perl-gcpan/Net-IP-1.22 [ebuild R ] perl-gcpan/Bundle-W3C-Validator-0.6.5 after building it in the /usr/local/portage/perl-gcpan overlay (so that path wasn't the problem at least).
(for posterity) jakub and i tracked this down over irc to a $PORTDIR_OVERLAY implementation problem
