Gentoo::Util::VirtualDepend This module serves as a low level glue layer for the handful of manual mappings that are needed in Gentoo due to things not strictly tracking upstream. "CPANPLUS::Dist::Gentoo" has similar logic to this, but not as simple ( or for that matter, usable without "CPANPLUS" ) This module is not intended to be used entirely on its own, but as a short-circuit before calling complicated "MetaCPAN" code.
