Description Guido Flohr 2006-03-22 13:13:24 UTC 
Perl's CPAN.pm sometimes spits out something like "Contact Author John Doe jdoe@cpan.org" for the location of the download file, but g-cpan does not handle this gracefully.  See below for an example.

hostname cwd # g-cpan -i Archive::Zip
CPAN: Storable loaded ok
Going to read /root/.cpan/Metadata
  Database was generated on Mon, 13 Mar 2006 23:18:45 GMT
g-cpan: Unable to coerce Contact-Author-Ned-Konz--nedkonz-cpan.org- into a portage dir name at /usr/bin/g-cpan line 359.
 * g-cpan: Couldn't turn 'Contact Author Ned Konz <nedkonz@cpan.org>' into a directory name

 * g-cpan: No ebuilds generated for emerge.

hostname cwd # cpan
Terminal does not support AddHistory.
