Do you mean I should modify the .c file, or what? A change in the .c file is blown away every time I make any change in my module, or even just 'make clean'.

~/.cpan/histfile includes the following lines:
install ExtUtils::ParseXS
install Devel::PPPort

in the last round of updates from a CPAN 'r' command. From the thread above one of these seems like the likely culprit (?) And from Nicolas Clark's entry in the thread, maybe one of these was only supposed to apply to 5.10?

So how does one "uninstall" or drop back a version on a CPAN module? In the past I have hacked my way through such things because my @INC has levels from perl 5.8.[789], and it seems like updates at one level don't delete the corresponding file at an older level.

But as long as I started this thread here at a major fount of Perl knowledge, is there a better/systematic way to undo a CPAN upgrade?
