Hi, the ebuild doesn't pull in dev-perl/Module-Install
and fails therefore with: "Can't locate inc/Module/Install/DSL.pm in @inc (you may need to install the inc::Module::Install::DSL module) "

It emerged fine after "emerge -1 dev-perl/Module-Install"

This is a bug in the source, caused by stupidity in Perl 5.26

Adding a dependency on Module::Install is the wrong solution, as it bundles a copy which should be used instead, and Module::Install will be nuked from ::gentoo as soon as we can get away with it.

Appropriate workarounds are documented here:
