Re^2: Simulating --keep-session-cookies wget option with LWP ?

Debian keeps clean the system, it allow you to uninstall packages

Seems like installing cpan modules could not do that, because you have not any "universal" method to uninstall modules like apt does.

If that is a clean solution, it should be showed at howto uninstall a package/module, see Re^3: howto uninstall a package/module where tell about it is not always the perfect way to go. I think having an uninstall command should be mandatory in systems like cpan	[reply]

Nothing stops you from installing the large majority of modules into custom paths you set up yourself, even without cpan. Most modules have pretty straightforward build systems that make that job easy. You can distribute any dependencies you want with the stuff you're writing as well, and use relative "use lib" paths. --Dave	[reply]
