    Well, what about other than .pm files? Taken Storable as an example, installation consists of 20 (sic!) files and only one of them is .pm, others are: splitted for autoloading subs (.al files and autosplit.ix) and compiled from C (.bs and .so). And it is good enough that all of them are inside Perl hierarchy, sometimes it is not the case.

      Greetings.

      Perhaps, if you explained what is the purpose of your endeavour, somebody could come up with a solution.

      As things are, a combination of what I suggested, plus ExtUtils::Installed::files, plus the knowledge of the (standard) layout of the perl library should get you pretty close to what you're looking for.

      Cheers,

        It is not a secret. I like to try different modules. I am crazy about trying modules because I don't want to reinvent anything :). And at the same time I like to keep my system clean. So I have had a kind of uninstaller for rejected modules. Now it does not work for perl5.6.1 and I'm sad because I need to reinvent this uninstaller ;). And I thought - maybe somebody knows some trick or workaround or something else that could make me happy again :)))
