here's an alternate ebuild for version 0.8.10
didn't check Patricks as i'm in a bit of a rush
but. i see no reason for this not being included.
any chance of the email getting in?

thanks!

Perl modules are only included in portage if they are a dependency of another app in portage. As far as I can tell, Mail::Sender is not a dependency of anything in portage so I'm going to close this. If it becomes a dependency of something, please feel free to reopen this bug.

(Hint: Use g-cpan.pl to install perl modules that aren't in portage and have portage be aware of them.)

Thanks for the submission anyway.

BTW, this module needed to have stdin redirected from /dev/null since it expected the user to answer questions.  I updated it to look like

src_compile {
    perl-module_src_compile
} < /dev/null

before I found this resolution and the reason why Mail::Sender wasn't included in the first place.  Using g-cpan.pl, now.
