That's about it, yes. (I think the way perl is handled in Gentoo is in serious 
need of review.)

Of course, what you are trying to install, to be fair, isn't exactly trivial 
and g-cpan does trivial well enough... usually.

So, perhaps you could just install the pieces you need? I don't think portage 
will ever be able to handle CPAN 'bundles'.

Just gcpan -g for each item in the package from a shell script. Maybe it will 
work once you have an ebuild for each needed module, or you can see which one 
is just way off... and edit to work.

You do have the ("perl-experimental") overlay?

Good luck.

Cheers,
