If I see diff libapreq2-2.07-r1.ebuild libapreq2-2.08.ebuild ... 50c53 < perl Makefile.PL ${myconf} --- > ./configure ${myconf} ... that wrong ! it install just the C API and don't install perl modules :( please see http://httpd.apache.org/apreq/docs/libapreq2/ Installation chapter To build and install the perl API as well, either add the "--enable-perl-glue" configure option, or let Makefile.PL enable it for you please enable it You may add perl USE flag or setup it by default give me perl modules - I need them :)
Fixed in libapreq2-2.08-r1, thanks :) (the switch from using the Makefile.PL to configure was because the Makefile.PL path was dropping other things - like not acknowledging all of the passed options, despite what their documentation says).
