what version of g-cpan are you using? based on the output, i'm guessing one of the stable version, not the arch testing release candidates.
app-portage/g-cpan-0.14.0
works with g-cpan 0.15_rc3 :-) Thanks for reporting!
(In reply to comment #3) > works with g-cpan 0.15_rc3 :-) > Thanks for reporting! > yes, the 0.14.0 script has an undefined variable in a split, and my g-cpan installations then just fail (but don't tell me they fail). the 0.15 versions work nicely. Alas, when I wanted to move up to the 0.15 rc, Shell-EnvImporter-1.04.ebuild (on which the ebuild depends) is masked with ~amd64. this is unnecessary---it seems to work fine. So, please release both g-cpan 0.15 and Shell-Importer. They can't be any worse than the currently unmasked default versions. regards, /iaw
