This seems to be an upstream issue, a Google search on the error turns up quite a few people with similar issues. make[1]: Leaving directory `/var/tmp/portage/PDL-2.4.2/work/PDL-2.4.2/Basic' make[1]: Entering directory `/var/tmp/portage/PDL-2.4.2/work/PDL-2.4.2/Demos' /usr/bin/perl5.8.8 BAD2_demo.pm.PL BAD2_demo.pm Can't locate PDL/Config.pm in @INC (@INC contains: /etc/perl /usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.8.8/i686-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/i686-linux /usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.8/i686-linux /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.8 /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl /usr/lib/perl5/5.8.8/i686-linux /usr/lib/perl5/5.8.8 /usr/local/lib/site_perl .) at BAD2_demo.pm.PL line 12.

I managed to get it to emerge by copying /var/tmp/portage/PDL-2.4.2/work/PDL-2.4.2/blib/lib/PDL/Config.pm to /usr/local/lib/site_perl/PDL/Config.pm - Not to imply that I know anything about the problem...
Can you please try emerging PDL-2.4.2-r1? I'll file a ticket to get it marked stable based on your outcome (but that was why we created -r1 ;)
yesterday I unmerged PDL, reemerged the stable version to verify that it still fails, and then after that emerge failed, I emerged 2.4.2-r1, and it worked. So 2.4.2-r1 fixes it for me.
Is it possible to close the bug now that dev-perl/PDL-2.4.2-r1 is stable?
Closing, as bug #137427 was resolved (I have no idea why I thought 2.4.2-r1 was already stable, btw ;))
