Even after fixing the warnings from bug 526188, g-cpan reports * DEFINED OVERLAYS DON'T EXIST! This is because the PORTDIR_OVERLAY variable in my make.conf contains tabs. "set" reports these as $'…\t…' and strip_env from Gentoo::Portage (as installed by g-cpan) removes the '\' but keeps the 't'. So I guess we should add \\t to the \\n handling in there. - s{\\n}{ }gxms + s{\\n|\\t}{ }gxms
Filed https://github.com/gentoo-perl/g-cpan/pull/16 for my suggested change.
Merged into git master. Leaving the bug open until a package is released.
