DESCRPITON

This module is a CPANPLUS backend that recursively generates Gentoo ebuilds for a given package in the specified overlay (defaults to /usr/local/portage), updates the manifest, and even emerges it (together with its dependencies) if the user requires it. You need write permissions on the directory where Gentoo fetches its source files (usually /usr/portage/distfiles). You also need to specify the correct keyword for your architecture if it differs from the default x86.

The generated ebuilds are placed into the perl-gcpanp category. They favour depending on perl-core, dev-perl or perl-gcpan (in that order) rather than perl-gcpanp.

INSTALLATION

After installing this module, you should append perl-gcpanp to your /etc/portage/categories file.

METHODS

All the methods are inherited from CPANPLUS::Dist::Base. Please refer to its documentation for precise information on what's done at each step.
