in reply to Uninstall module

Afaik, there's no automated way to uninstall CPAN modules.

So that leaves you with manually finding and removing all files associated with the module.   As an example, here are the files+dirs I'd rm from my Debian Linux host if I wanted to 'uninstall' the Net::Telnet::Cisco module:

  • /usr/local/man/man3/Net::Telnet::Cisco.3pm
  • /usr/local/lib/site_perl/i386-linux/auto/Net/Telnet/Cisco
  • /usr/local/lib/site_perl/Net/Telnet/Cisco.pm
  • /usr/local/lib/site_perl/auto/Net/Telnet/Cisco

It took just a couple minutes weeding out results of find / -name Cisco to arrive at this list.
