Installing dev-perl/POE (tested several versions from portage) completes successfully while not actually installing anything except it's docs. This has been tested with perl-5.10 and perl-5.8.8 with both emerge and paludis on different system with the same result.

Noted there is a trivial fix for this discovered. In the ebuild, comment out the line "mymake='/usr'" and the problem seems to go away. Also, adding in "SRC_TEST='do'" to enable the tests and running them all pass happily.
Note this "trivial fix" is not understood yet, and was just the first attempt, there's probably a reason that was in there, as it previously worked, but it could be a legacy entry ( considering when POE was released, JUNE '08 ) and the eclass may have changed since then.
Reassigning to perl herd.
Thanks Kent, that worked on dev-perl/POE-1.003
Just clarifying, this appears to be a bug with *both* available versions of POE. Advertised fix only tested on 1.003 Looking through /usr/portage with a bit of aggressive grepping, all I can find about "mymake" amounts to this: ./app-admin/conky/conky-1.6.1.ebuild: local mymake ./app-admin/conky/conky-1.6.1.ebuild: mymake="MPD_NO_IPV6=noipv6" ./app-admin/conky/conky-1.6.1.ebuild: emake ${mymake} || die "compile failed" ./app-admin/conky/conky-1.6.2_pre1355.ebuild: local mymake ./app-admin/conky/conky-1.6.2_pre1355.ebuild: mymake="MPD_NO_IPV6=noipv6" ./app-admin/conky/conky-1.6.2_pre1355.ebuild: emake ${mymake} || die "compile failed" ./app-text/gocr/gocr-0.45.ebuild: local mymakes="src man" ./app-text/gocr/gocr-0.45.ebuild: use doc && mymakes="${mymakes} doc examples" ./app-text/gocr/gocr-0.45.ebuild: emake ${mymakes} || die "make ${mymakes} failed" ./app-text/gocr/gocr-0.46.ebuild: local mymakes="src man" ./app-text/gocr/gocr-0.46.ebuild: use doc && mymakes="${mymakes} doc examples" ./app-text/gocr/gocr-0.46.ebuild: emake ${mymakes} || die "make ${mymakes} failed" ./dev-perl/Clone/Clone-0.29.ebuild:mymake='OPTIMIZE=${CFLAGS}' ./dev-perl/Clone/Clone-0.30.ebuild:mymake='OPTIMIZE=${CFLAGS}' ./dev-perl/Clone/Clone-0.31.ebuild:mymake='OPTIMIZE=${CFLAGS}' ./dev-perl/IO-Tty/ChangeLog: Remove mymake="/usr".
