*  app-portage/g-cpan
      Latest version available: 0.16.2
      Latest version installed: 0.16.2
      Size of downloaded files: 27 kB
      Homepage:    http://www.gentoo.org/proj/en/perl/g-cpan.xml
      Description: g-cpan: generate and install CPAN modules using
portage

searches for a perl module, checks if it exists in portage first, if not
creates an ebuild and installs it including dependencies.  One of the
nice things about gentoo!
