Description Robin Johnson archtester

Also fixes the CPAN pathes being broken sometimes.

Patch attached.

perl team: if there's not maintainer for g-cpan at the moment, where was the current VCS repo for 0.15.0? I could only find 0.13.0 in CVS, and I'll fix up all the bugs.

I got bored and decided to hack up g-cpan for my own nefarious purposes before i found this bug report. 


Anybody interested http://git.fox.geek.nz/kentexperimental/app-portage/g-cpan/   might be helpful. 

I've added some debug info into the comments at the stop of the ebuild for editor helpfulness and switched in $Id$ for git repository tracking. 

Some of the code structures I found while modifying it annoyed me a little so changed those too. 

There are still some perl fails in it, but it works-for-me atm ( perl5.10 )

Should be fixed in g-cpan r226, will be released soon.
