Martin, What advertisements?? cpan.valueclick, for the record, is an authorized mirror site of cpan.org. I tend to point users to the mirrors and not the primary site in ebuilds to lessen the load on cpan.org. If you are experiencing a problem with those ebuilds as is, please submit a bug report at bugs.gentoo.org. Thanks!
