Now, I've never seen this specific error before but it looks like perl thinks your installed Parse-CPAN-Meta is still the old version 1.40. It doesn't realize what portage did in the interim. Have a look in that ebuild and 1.440.400 and you'll see quite a difference. Does unmerging and remerging Parse-CPAN-Meta fix anything? -- Alan McKinnnon [email protected]
