Hi! When trying to emerge dev-perl/String-ShellQuote (either with minimal use flag set or unset), the process fails with the following message: >>> Unpacking String-ShellQuote-1.00.tar.gz to /var/tmp/portage/String-ShellQuote-1.00-r1/work >>> Source unpacked. * Using ExtUtils::MakeMaker Checking if your kit is complete...

The problem definitely has to do with the perl USE="minimal" install. I recompiled it with USE="-minimal" and String-ShellQuote compiled flawlessly.
What version of perl do you have installed? Could you please check if there is a /usr/lib/perl5/*/AutoSplit.pm file around on your system?

The file /usr/lib/perl5/5.8.7/AutoSplit.pm is present, if perl is installed without the "minimal" USE flag. However, it is not present when compiling with the "minimal" use flag. On a side note: Can

This is one of the reasons minimal was taken out of perl as a use flag...what to chop out and what not to chop out wasn't even an art let alone a science. If you emerge perl without the minimal flag (which you can't do with more recent copies of the ebuild anyway) does your problem continue?
minimal was removed from 5.8.8 for this (and other similar reasons). i'll be posting a bug to get it marked stable soon.

For me the problem is solved, I just installed perl without the "minimum" USE flag.
dev-lang/perl-5.8.8-r2 no longer has the "minimal" USE flag, and is already stable, thus closing :-)
