CPAN Uninstall

How do I remove installed Perl modules? 

By using the ExtUtils::Installed 
<http://search.cpan.org/author/JHI/perl-5.8.0/lib/ExtUtils/Install.pm> and 
ExtUtils::Packlist<http://search.cpan.org/author/JHI/perl-5.8.0/lib/ExtUtils/Packlist.pm>modules
that come with Perl as in the example below. There is also a more
elaborate example in the ExtUtils::Packlist man page.


#!/usr/local/bin/perl -w

use ExtUtils::Packlist;
use ExtUtils::Installed;

$ARGV[0] or die "Usage: $0 Module::Name\n";

my $mod = $ARGV[0]; 

my $inst = ExtUtils::Installed->new();

    foreach my $item (sort($inst->files($mod))) {
             print "removing $item\n";
             unlink $item;
          }

     my $packfile = $inst->packlist($mod)->packlist_file();
          print "removing $packfile\n";
          unlink $packfile;
