1.24.2/Gentoo x64 Configure Stalls on test for MIME::Entity

Basically what the above says. I installed all dependencies, have the ffmpeg USE flag set, built php and apache with what's needed. When I try to use either the ebuild or source, it stalls forever on "checking for Perl module MIME::Entity..."
I've never done this before, I'm not familiar with either Zoneminder or Perl, and my boss is getting angry. Any idea what's going on and how to fix it?

Buy a lotto ticket, get rich, buy the company you work for, get your boss to do it!!!
Did you make sure the ccache package isn't installed???
When I compiled mine, ccache wasn't installed, so I install it and de-installed...
maybe it will work... but I will go for the first option!!!

Check Perl version. My Gentoo server (x64) is using perl 5.8.8

5.10.1 here. It seems to have been pulled in as a dependency. 5.8.8-r5 was the previously-installed version. The CPAN shell insists MIME::Entity is installed and up to date.

Considering that package dev-lang/perl-5.10.1.ebuild was released updated this week, makes me think there is a problem with it.
Try running a pretend on "emerge -pv =dev-lang/perl-5.8.8-r6 and see if it will let you downgrade it. If not you might have to submit a bug report. Here is a list of open bugs with perl-5.10.1

None of those seem relevant. As far as I know nothing Unicode is being parsed here, and the problem is with locating a module anyway.

What about rolling back to 5.8.8? Can you set up a VM box to test the problem? FWIW, its not a good idea to install apps on a production server without testing them on a test/sandbox server first.

Hi,
I had the same problem on a clean Gentoo x86 install.
After lots of mucking about, and trying to debug the config file, I found
http://www.nntp.perl.org/group/perl.per ... 23204.html
installed Date::Format
(perl -MCPAN -eshell; install Date::Format)
Got past the hanging spot.
No problem
