The key thing to remember is that CPAN and CPANPLUS are installers, not
packagers.  As such, they do not ensure that a file that they are installing
belongs exclusively to the thing being installed.  Thus, if you blindly remove
everything that had been installed during a particular run, you could end up
with a broken system.
