same errors here, no only Authen::Captcha but other CPAN modules too.
I have also the same error when trying with MARC::Record I don't know if it work with other mods, it's the first time I use g-span.pl
Apparently it's an issue caused by an error in PathTools dependencies. You can edit manually the PathTools ebuild witch whas created by g-cpan.pl (/usr/local/portage/dev-perl/PathTools/PathTools-3.01.ebuild on my system). You delete the last line (dev-perl/) of the DEPENDS tag, and then create che MANIFEST file (ebuild PathTools-3.01.ebuild digest) and then emerge PathTools (emerge PathTools). On my system, when i use g-cpan.pl MARC::Record after theses changes, it builds successfully. It may work with other CPAN modules. It don't resolv the bug, but now I can end my work ;) I hope it can be useful.
This also breaks on CGI::Application. The DEPEND line is as follows: DEPEND="dev-perl/Test-Simple dev-perl/HTML-Template dev-perl/CGI.pm" The error returned is the same.
Never mind my note - turns out mine was part of Bug 64403, which may be fixed at this point.
Fixed in the next release of g-cpan. End of output (just so you know it works) : >>> dev-perl/Authen-Captcha-1.023 merged. >>> clean: No packages selected for removal. >>> Auto-cleaning packages ...
