well.. take for instance Compress::Zlib...

you would emerge Compres-Zlib

but how about libwww?

emerge libwww-perl

also.. not all the CPAN is in there. There are still some things you'll
have to use CPAN for..

perl -MCPAN -e shell

very cool :) does it support CPAN stuff that's not in portage and yet
add it to the portage tree so other stuff knows you have it installed?

It searches the portage tree first, then goes off to CPAN, creating and
merging ebuilds as it goes.
*very* cool :)

It does sound very cool, but I'm getting:

Don't know what 'Bundle::InterchangeKitchenSink' is

I did:

perl -MCPAN -e 'install Bundle::InterchangeKitchenSink'

and it seems to be working. Why would that be?
