This is perl-module.eclass telling you that your environement (aka: user configuration) is broken such that it will break Perl module installation. > Please fix your environment ( ~/.bashrc, package.env, ... ), see above for details.

The thing is, it's 'opam' who adds this variable in $HOME/.opam/opam-init/variables.sh: PERL5LIB="/home/xvilka/.opam/system/lib/perl5:$PERL5LIB"; export PERL5LIB; which is called from $HOME/.opam/opam-init/init.sh which opam adds in $HOME/.bash_profile when installing. So this bug should happen on any configuration where opam is installed

The problem is that the way the user invokes emerge allows the variable PERL5LIB to leak from user="THEM" to user=portage So the question is, how are you invoking emerge? Are you running it as a non-privileged user, etc? Are you using "sudo emerge", and if so, why is sudo permitting arbitrary ENV pass-through? 1: the intent of this feature is to allow applications, such as opam, or users, to install and manage perl libraries independent from the system Perl, within $HOME. The problem occurs when this mechanism becomes visible in a scope where "work with the system perl" is the intended result, and subsequently, this variable would have otherwise told portage to install PO4A components in $HOME, which would have broken your system.
It appears in both su and sudo. Strange. But anyway, worked around with unset.
@perl, I presume you'll deal with this. Feel free to reassign if you believe the package maintainer should do anything here.
