Comment 2 Jakub Moc (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2005-06-05 02:47:07 UTC
1/ Never attach tarballs.

http://www.gentoo.org/proj/en/devrel/handbook/handbook.xml?part=2&chap=3#doc_chap2

2/ Perl modules have a special policy to be included into portage. See 

http://www.gentoo.org/proj/en/devrel/handbook/handbook.xml?part=3&chap=1#doc_chap2

and reopen only if the ebuild satisfies those conditions and after you have
attached plaintext file.

Thanks.
