Expected Results:  
Built

Currently have gtk2-fu-0.08 installed.  The dependency on module-build must have
been introducted in the 0.10 update.  The easy workaround is to emerge
dev-perl/module-build first.

dams, all you (your ebuild, your package)

Michael : gtk2-fu can be compiled using Module::Build (still in beta in perl,
and need to be installed), or using the good old Makefile.PL

In my very humble opinion, I think perl-module should be able to see that both
installation methods are available (both Build.PL and Makefile.PL are there),
and try them one by one. First Build.PL, but if Module::Build is not there, it
should try Makefile.PL

Of course I could either add the dependancy on Module::Build, but I don't like
forcing people using it if not needed. Or I could remove Build.PL, but I like to
promote promising stuff.

What do you think? Tell me what I should do, and I'll do it.

Hi,
Having the same problem, just remerged 'module-build' and then successfully
build gtk2-fu-0.10.

I have added the dependancy in 0.10, so it should emerge correctly now. But
still, I think it should use Makefile.PL if Build.PL fails.
