For perl team - please update g-cpan ! This great tool original written by Michael Cummings, but him now RETIRED :( and many bugs not fixing last times. Many people want to see g-cpan more stable. I discover all bugs and collect some patches in one patchset. Tested on couple machines. Changes * add 'overlay order fix' patch, fix bug #176627 * add patch for g-cpan, fix bug #189865 * add patch for fix warnings arrived by ebuild without SRC_URI (like URI) * add 'extracted only once' patch for bug #176627 * add patch for fix bug #178089 * add patch for fix bug #161732 Need only add to CVS ;)

I've been manually patching my g-cpan installation but I missed some of the fixes you've included here. If you plan on maintaining this patchset, could you make your overlay into a format that layman can track? (git, svn, or even a tarball would work) I wonder if http://search.cpan.org/dist/CPANPLUS-Dist-Gentoo/ might be a better solution to this CPAN+Gentoo integration problem, but for now, I'm still using g-cpan, thanks to your work. :)
Please respin against current SVN head, one patch per thing you are fixing, regardless of how many files that patch touches.
No response from user about updating it for the 0.16 series.
