i saw this too - it was actually a bad upstream copy of the module list. run g-cpan with the reload cpan and it should clear up. either that or i fixed a bug and didn't realize it, because the next release is creating class-insideout-1.01 fine now (and i saw the same bug).
Nope. I removed all .cpan directories and configured it new with different servers (just in case). Still doesn't work. I installed My guess is the following may be the source of the problem: Strange distribution name [perl] Strange distribution name [perl] * g-cpan: perl is not a CPAN module!

"g-cpan -g Class::InsideOut" is definitely fixed in 0.15_rc1, probably in 0.14 as well (can't verify that locally though). "g-cpan -g Exporter" introduces a somewhat painful point - failure to provide a good error message that Exporter is being caught as part of perl-5.8.8 and ignored. Does it count as fixed if the original case is fixed? :)
since i got no response, and this is fixed in a version that is in portage, closing out.
Fixed in rc3. I have a few more bugs I'd like to tackle this weekend, but I expect to put this "out there" in portage in the next few days. $ ./g-cpan -g Config / * Config is part of the core perl install $ ./g-cpan -g Exporter / * Exporter is part of the core perl install $ ./g-cpan -g Devel::PPPort / * Devel::PPPort is part of the core perl install
