Pushing biber dependencies to perl-experimental

Hi there,

I'm trying to get dev-tex/biber into portage (see #340353). But
depends on a few perl modules which are neither in gentoo-x86 nor in
perl-experimental. There are already bugs for them on b.g.o, but the
don't get much attention. Could you please push them to
perl-experimental?

Here they are: https://git.spheniscida.de/?p=spiderlay;a=tree;f=dev-perl
The corresponding bugs are marked as blockers of #340353, so finding
them should be easy.

Thanks in advance!

g-cpan -u VS cpan>upgrade

Hi!

Today I've decided to try to switch from `cpan` to `g-cpan`.
I was pleasantly surprised - g-cpan have installed all ~300 perl modules I
need and just one module required manual .ebuild editing (Crypt-MatrixSSL).
I've successfully configured portage to use my local CPAN overlay, force
installing latests available versions for all modules, and run tests for
all perl modules - i.e. do exactly same what `cpan` do.

But I don't understood how to implement equivalent of `cpan>upgrade`:

1)  `g-cpan --cpan_reload` doesn't work at all:

	# g-cpan --cpan_reload
	 * You haven't told g-cpan what to do.

	Please consult g-cpan --help or man g-cpan for more information

    This can be worked around by running `cpan>reload index`, but it's sad
    we can't use only `g-cpan` for all tasks and still need to run `cpan`.

2)  `g-cpan -u` works (after `cpan>reload index`), but it have nasty side
    effect by adding several modules (I've no idea why exactly these
    modules) into world file when it finish (no matter is it updated some
    modules or not):

	>>> Recording perl-gcpan/CPAN-Reporter in "world" favorites file...
	>>> Recording perl-gcpan/Devel-Autoflush in "world" favorites file...
	>>> Recording perl-gcpan/Filter-CommaEquals in "world" favorites file...
	>>> Recording perl-gcpan/IO-CaptureOutput in "world" favorites file...

Ebuild- and CPAN-versions compatibility

CPAN and ebuild versions are ordered in different ways. The idea here is
to change the ebuild versions to be predictable and CPAN compatible.

CPAN versions exist as "decimal" and "dotted-integer" versions.

| # Decimal versions #
| \d+(\.d+)?
|
| Any version which "looks like a number"[...]. This
| also includes versions with a single decimal point[...]

  1.19 < 1.191 < 1.2

| # Dotted-Integer Versions #
| v\d+(\.\d{1,3}){2,}
|
| These contain more than one decimal point[...]
| This is what is commonly used in most open source software as the
| "external" version[...] A leading 'v' character is now required 

  v1.9.0 < v1.10.0 < v1.10.0.1

These version objects can be compared by grouping three digits of the
decimal number to one integer part of the dotted-integer version...

1.19  = 1.190 = 1.190000  ~  v1.190.0
1.191 = 1.191 = 1.191000  ~  v1.191.0
1.2           = 1.200000  ~  v1.200.0

1.009         = 1.009000  ~  v1.9.0
