Description Phil R Lawrence 2003-05-23 11:49:52 UTC

g-cpan.pl worked under 2.0.47-r10.
After portage upgrade to 2.0.48, g-cpan.pl gives error:
  Global symbol "$distfiles" requires explicit
  package name at /usr/bin/g-cpan.pl line 266.
  syntax error at /usr/bin/g-cpan.pl line 268, near ")

    push"
  Execution of /usr/bin/g-cpan.pl aborted due to compilation errors.


Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.  (portage 2.0.47-r10)# g-cpan.pl Term::Interact
2.  (portage 2.0.47-r10)# emerge portage
3.  (portage 2.0.48)# emerge unmerge dev-perl/Term-Interact
4.  (portage 2.0.48)# g-cpan.pl Term::Interact

Actual Results:  
  Global symbol "$distfiles" requires explicit
  package name at /usr/bin/g-cpan.pl line 266.
  syntax error at /usr/bin/g-cpan.pl line 268, near ")

    push"
  Execution of /usr/bin/g-cpan.pl aborted due to compilation errors.


Expected Results:  
Installed the perl module.

Another user of g-cpan.pl reported this bug to me.  We had hoped to use
g-cpan.pl in another ebuild we are building.

Comment 2 Josiah Ritchie (flickerfly) 2003-05-29 10:32:24 UTC
