Description Roger Binns 2006-12-06 02:36:45 UTC 
I get this error message running g-cpan:

Use of uninitialized value in split at /usr/bin/g-cpan line 354.

No matter what command line options I give, g-cpan says everything is fine, there are no updates etc.

I am running version 0.14.0 on amd64.

Looks like you have PORTDIR_OVERLAY set to two spaces...?
Comment 2 Roger Binns 2006-12-10 16:10:13 UTC 
The cause of PORTDIR_OVERLAY being wierd was layman.  I had been using layman to get the vmware-server overlay.  But that is now part of portage so I had done layman -d.  The /usr/portage/local/layman/make.conf looked like this:

PORTDIR_OVERLAY="$PORTDIR_OVERLAY

"

(ie two newlines)

I completely removed the source line from /etc/make.conf and emerge --info reports that PORTDIR_OVERLAY is unset.  I *still* get the error from g-cpan and it still appears to not work.
