The Locale-gettext ebuild will "complete" successfully even though it could not build the module. The missing ExtUtils/MakeMaker/Config.pm below is due to a dependency loop when building a stage3 with catalyst, so ignore that :P This bug is present for other types of build failures such as the missing gettext() in libintl in bug 130248. >>> Emerging (33 of 99) dev-perl/Locale-gettext-1.05 to / >>> checking ebuild checksums ;-) >>> checking auxfile checksums ;-) >>> checking miscfile checksums ;-) >>> checking gettext-1.05.tar.gz ;-) >>> Unpacking source... >>> Unpacking gettext-1.05.tar.gz to /var/tmp/portage/Locale-gettext-1.05/work >>> Source unpacked. >>> Compiling source in /var/tmp/portage/Locale-gettext-1.05/work/gettext-1.05 ... * Using ExtUtils::MakeMaker Can't locate ExtUtils/MakeMaker/Config.pm in @INC (@INC contains: /etc/perl /usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.8.8/i386-linux /usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.8.8 /usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.8.7 /usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.8.7/i386-linux /usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.8/i386-linux /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.8 /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl /usr/lib/perl5/5.8.8/i386-linux /usr/lib/perl5/5.8.8 /usr/local/lib/site_perl .) at /usr/lib/perl5/5.8.8/ExtUtils/MakeMaker.pm line 7.

i'm just guessing, but i think this is because the die in the eclass is being ignored you know you can't build this with USE=build, though, right? USE=build strips perl down to the bare executable, no ability to compile modules...
I'm aware of that. What *should* happen is that perl gets rebuild without USE=build before this package is emerged, but due to a dependency loop, perl doesn't come in until after. Regardless, this is still an issue.
2 different bugs here. first bug is probably for the portage folks, not perl, and that's why do explicit die's in the eclass get ignored (we attempt to die if test fail and if make fails) second bug is that you aren't getting perl rebuilt - not sure how to answer that. can eclasses support IUSE="-build"? Not trying to be glib, just trying to think of ways of forcing you to build a proper perl after you've gotten past the point where you have used the 'build' perl (which should only be in pre-stage1 according to the catalyst folks that had me add this feature). a full perl at the pre-stage1 introduces other bugs btw.
'die' statements added to perl-module.eclass, hurray!
