Once I've followed all the metadot instructions (I used +vhosts, but then followed those instructions) I get this error in the error log for apache: "[Wed May 17 09:59:16 2006] [error] [client 192.168.2.53] failed to resolve handler `Apache::Registry': Can't locate Apache/Registry.pm in @INC (@INC contains: /home/httpd/perl /etc/perl /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.7/i686-linux-thread-multi /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.7 /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.6 /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.5 /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl /usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.8.7/i686-linux-thread-multi /usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.8.7 /usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.8.6 /usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl /usr/lib/perl5/5.8.7/i686-linux-thread-multi /usr/lib/perl5/5.8.7 /usr/local/lib/site_perl . /usr/lib/apache2) at (eval 6) line 3.\n, referer: http://towerbbs/" Looking at cpan, Apache::Registry is supposed to be part of mod_perl. But the mod_perl ebuild is missing it. So, either mod_perl is broken, this should be in another ebuild that metadot requires, or metadot should be requiring apache v1 (I'm using apache2). Not sure which.

This looks like an easy fix: in you metadot.conf, replace Apache::Registry with Modperl::Registry. I've also added an apache2 USE flag to the ebuild that will take care of this in the future.
