It's trying to fetch sources from distfiles.gentoo.org because that is
the default location for sources.
Where does that ebuild for Chart-Gnuplot come from? It isn't in the
tree; is it an ebuild you made, or from an overlay?
I have some auto-generated local ebuilds here that I made ages ago using
some automated cpan<->ebuild tool that was in portage. Unfortunately I
don;t recall the name :-) but here's the guts of what it built:
MODULE_AUTHOR=MANOWAR
MODULE_VERSION=0.20
inherit perl-module
DESCRIPTION="Authen::Radius - provide simple Radius client facilities"
DEPEND="dev-lang/perl"
MY_P=RadiusPerl-${PV}
SRC_URI="mirror://cpan/authors/id/M/MA/MANOWAR/${MY_P}.tar.gz"
I *think* the magic is all in "inherit perl-module"
