Re^4: howto uninstall a package/module

I used h2xs -AX ABC::Test
Than I installed it like:

perl MakeFile.PL
make make install
[download]

Now if I type: make uninstall I get the following message:

Uninstall is unsafe and deprecated, the uninstallation was not perform
+ed.
We will show what would have been done.

no packlist file found:  at /usr/lib/perl5/5.8.7/ExtUtils/Install.pm l
+ine 318.
make: *** [uninstall_from_sitedirs] Error 2
[download]

Any suggestions ?

This is evil, but would work. Reinstall the module you wrote with a version = version + 0.01 . Look at what it says it's doing. (Eg, copying file asdf.pm to /usr/local/perl5/5.8.0/site_perl/asdf.pm or simliar) As an appropriate user, rm -rf those files it says it's copying (if all you're doing is pure perl module). If you used h2xs binding to a library... then you're beyond my knowledge and I wish you good luck... :) Cheers.	[reply]
