I've just looked at the ebuild:

DESCRIPTION="Webpage image gallery creation perl script"
HOMEPAGE="http://bbgallery.sourceforge.net/"
SRC_URI="mirror://sourceforge/bbgallery/${P}.tar.bz2"

SLOT="0"
LICENSE="GPL-2"
KEYWORDS="x86 ppc ~sparc alpha amd64"
IUSE=""

RDEPEND="media-gfx/gimp
         dev-lang/perl
         media-gfx/imagemagick
         dev-perl/URI
         dev-perl/libwww-perl
         dev-perl/HTML-Template
         dev-perl/HTML-Parser"


I would assume that HTML-Template is responsible for building the
templates (on first run, possibly)?

So then I went to see if there was a possibility that you might have
disabled HTML-Parser via USE flags:

emerge -pv bbgallery

These are the packages that I would merge, in order:

Calculating dependencies ...done!
[ebuild  N    ] dev-perl/HTML-Template-2.7  61 kB
[ebuild  N    ] dev-perl/Crypt-SSLeay-0.51  114 kB
[ebuild  N    ] dev-perl/libnet-1.19  63 kB
[ebuild  N    ] dev-perl/libwww-perl-5.800  +ssl 223 kB
[ebuild  N    ] app-misc/bbgallery-1.2.0  32 kB

... but there isn't so that wouldn't seem to be it.

Were there any errors in the emerge log? It can certainly happen that a
program could emerge successfully without building all of its parts. Not
often, but it can happen. Are there any bugs listed in b.g.o wrt this
app? Is dev-perl/HTML-Template installed? Are you possibly having other
issues with Perl (recent upgrade of), and need to run perl-cleaner?

That's all I can think of, until someone who meets your criterion
(experience with the specific tool) comes along :) .

HTH,
Holly
