so that didn't go well...i was trying to install DateTime on my HPUX system. Here's the tail-end of the dialog:

Unfortunately, cpanp wasn't able to uninstall it: 
CPAN Terminal> u DateTime

[MSG] No '/.cpanplus/custom-sources' dir, skipping custom sources
[MSG] No '/.cpanplus/custom-sources' dir, skipping custom sources
[MSG] No '/.cpanplus/custom-sources' dir, skipping custom sources

This will uninstall the following modules:
    DateTime

Note that if you installed them via a package manager, you probably
should use the same package manager to uninstall them

                                                                      
+                                                              
Are you sure you want to continue? [y/N]: y
Uninstalling 'DateTime'
[ERROR] Module 'DateTime' is not installed, so cannot uninstall

Any thoughts about what to do? I'd like to get rid of it so that no one thinks it is actually installed (Find::File shows it).
