The ebuild dev-perl/log-dispatch-2.11 fails installation. I've attached a log of the attempted install, which explains the problem (PREFIX not supported). I believe the problem to be in (unpacked) /var/tmp/portage/log-dispatch-2.11/temp/environment. norman ~ # emerge www-apps/rt Calculating dependencies ...done! >>> emerge (1 of 75) dev-perl/log-dispatch-2.11 to / >>> md5 files ;-) log-dispatch-2.10.ebuild >>> md5 files ;-) log-dispatch-2.11.ebuild >>> md5 files ;-) files/digest-log-dispatch-2.10 >>> md5 files ;-) files/digest-log-dispatch-2.11 >>> md5 src_uri ;-) Log-Dispatch-2.11.tar.gz >>> Unpacking source... >>> Unpacking Log-Dispatch-2.11.tar.gz to /var/tmp/portage/log-dispatch-2.11/wor k >>> Source unpacked. * Using ExtUtils::MakeMaker Sorry, PREFIX is not supported.

Don't restrict bugs without any reason. Just don't touch the checkboxes, thanks.
The problem is that perl-module.eclass decided to use ExtUtils::MakeMaker and not Module::Build. mcummings, maybe add: && [ ! -f Build.PL ] to the eclass, before deciding whether to use ExtUtils::MakeMaker? (Line 100 in v1.95)
sorry, missed this bug in my stack - fixed in the eclass a day or so ago, thanks! you may need to re-install module-build depending on when you last installed it (logic bug in the eclass is only a few days old)
