He means authoritative server (ie a server that has a copy of the zone file)

I have a main machine and a backup machine. The main machine is 64-bit
and the backup is 32-bit, but otherwise very similar setup. I

do so today (115 packages emerge). I normally...

I was having trouble getting g-cpan to work with a Bundle of CPAN perl
modules and I got frustrated and started to install it with perl
-MCPAN -e instead. After a little while I thought better of it and
exited the installation, but should I now have perl modules spread
across my filesystem that
do so today (115 packages emerge). I normally...

...before updating, to check for booby-traps. Today, the output on the
backup machine blasted to screen, and did not stop until finished.
Meanwhile, the bottom of the screen shows lines 1-4/4 (END) .

across my filesystem that aren't known by portage? Is there any way
to clean them up? Would installing the same Bundle with g-cpan be
