Every manpage is installed twice, one with a *.3pm.gz suffix and 
another one with a *.3.gz suffix, with identical timestamp and contents.

Expected Results:
only one instance of each manpage!

This is a tough bug. There was a correction to the eclass that addressed
this a few weeks ago. The problem lay in how makemaker was handling the man
page generation. Testing this this morning, I cannot reproduce - man pages
are being created with the 3pm.tar.gz only (no 3.tar.gz). Closing this out
for now, please reopen this bug if it still persists.
