IMPORTANT DISCLAIMER: I love Perl! I love CPAN!
In using FreeBSD's ports and packages system I have suddenly noticed a lot of things missing from CPAN.
Or maybe I just don't know enough.
Specifically it would be nice:
- To get a list of the CPAN modules installed.
- To get a list of the files that have been installed by a given CPAN module.
- To get a list of which installed CPAN modules depend on which other installed CPAN modules.
- To be able to deinstall a CPAN module.
...with as much ease as typing info *, file_list Foo::Bar, dependancies Foo::Bar or deinstall Foo::Bar respectively at the cpan prompt.
