There is a typo in the <cvsroot>/eclass/perl-module.eclass file. In this file (introduced in CVS version 1.50 on 24 Sep) there was a specific workaround for an API change in MakeMaker. MakeMaker 6.11 changed how PREFIX and DESTDIR are treated. However, the actual code of the test is: MMSIXELEVEN=`perl -e 'use ExtUtils::MakeMaker; print( $ExtUtils::MakeMaker::VERSION gt "6.11" )'` However, this test checks for versions "greater than". The test should be "greater than or equal to": MMSIXELEVEN=`perl -e 'use ExtUtils::MakeMaker; print( $ExtUtils::MakeMaker::VERSION ge "6.11" )'` One final note: This bug will go away on its own once a version of ExtUtils-MakeMaker beyond 6.11 is unmasked... Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: I discovered this bug with dev-perl/Mail-SpamAssassin-2.60. It autoupgraded (via emerge -u) and stopped working. I investigated, and found all the paths were pointing in the /var/tmp/portage tree. So: emerge Mail-SpamAssassin. Actual Results: Examine /usr/bin/spamassassin If the "my $PREFIX" line references a path in /var/tmp you have the bug. Expected Results: After changing my local copy of perl-module.eclass and emerging again, the line is now my $PREFIX= '/usr'; as it should be.

Fixed in cvs. Thank you.
Hello guys, there is something still wrong with this, please look at it deeply and reopen the bug if necessary. If I try to emerge "gscmxx" which uses perl-module eclass, I get the error pasted below. I've made a quick and dirty fix in eclass to make gscmxx compile, by removing the 'if clause' in line 78 of perl-module.eclass but I don't know much about perl modules and can't help you to fix it the right way.
