Yesterday I was trying to uninstall a module by issueing
"make uninstall" and it gave message about this way being
depreciate and suggested to manually remove the files as
listed in .packlist file. It turned out that I was tempted
to do it with one-liner, so here it goes,

% perl -0777 -ane 'unlink $ARGV, @F' <packlist_file>

The $ARGV is there to remove the packlist file as well. It
could have been shorter by omitting some whitespaces
and unifying switches. But I'm sure it could have been
even shorter by using more obscure codes. There's no error
checking, so removing failures are ignored.

Of course, just to make sure, this isn't an issue about
how to uninstall modules. s::a::n
