> g-cpan -i Emacs::PDE runs through ok (there is one QA notice "The ebuild uses Module::Build but doesn't depend on it. Add virtual/perl-Module-Build to DEPEND!") After successfull source compilation, the installation log shows these paths: >>> Source compiled. >>> Test phase [not enabled]: perl-gcpan/Emacs-PDE-0.2.16 >>> Install Emacs-PDE-0.2.16 into /var/tmp/portage/perl-gcpan/Emacs-PDE-0.2.16/image/ category perl-gcpan Building Emacs-PDE Installing /var/tmp/portage/perl-gcpan/Emacs-PDE-0.2.16/image/usr/lib64/perl5/vendor_perl/5.10.1/Emacs/PDE.pm Installing /var/tmp/portage/perl-gcpan/Emacs-PDE-0.2.16/image/usr/lib64/perl5/vendor_perl/5.10.1/Emacs/PDE/Util.pm Installing /var/tmp/portage/perl-gcpan/Emacs-PDE-0.2.16/image/usr/share/man/man3/Emacs::PDE::Util.3 Installing /var/tmp/portage/perl-gcpan/Emacs-PDE-0.2.16/image/usr/share/man/man3/Emacs::PDE.3 Use of uninitialized value $tmpfile in -f at /usr/lib64/perl5/5.10.1/ExtUtils/Install.pm line 709.

Probably g-cpan gets confused here as this package is more of a Emacs .el/.elc files add-on than Perl modules.
Not a g-cpan problem. The buildscripts of Emacs::PDE: 1. don't pick up the sitelisp location automatically. 2. seem to completely ignore DESTDIR for installing the elisp files. I've added dev-perl/Emacs-PDE manually for you now.
