But do these fulfill any portage dependancies for existing ebuilds? That is how 
we determine what to add to portage and what to direct the user to CPAN for 
(currently anyway).

Comment 2 Juerd 2002-11-26 09:12:31 UTC

No, they do not. It would just be handy to have the modules around. Especially
CPANPLUS, as the CPAN.pm module that comes with Perl is a pain in the ass.

If you're not going to include PLP and DBIx::Simple because they can be
installed easily without portage, I agree. But then at least include CPANPLUS so
that the user can do so without having to deal with the horrors of CPAN.pm.

I will look into a CPANPLUS ebuild that isn't interactive (which is a blocking 
point - ebuilds cannot be interactive). For this bug though, I am going to 
close it out.
