Re: g-cpan does not detect perltidy: msg#00001

Subject: Re: g-cpan does not detect perltidy
or at least error and say that it is an ebuild already. is the module
separable from the package though? Just wondering...

btw, the real issue here is that g-cpan is kinda dumb when it comes to
packages that rename themselves (like /perl-tidy/i vs /perltidy/i) - i
have thoughts on ways to correct this in the next version, always open
to suggestions :) (my thoughts center around a config file that is
updateable containing the list of 'unusual' mappings)
