If you want to completely uninstall a module there is an uninstall() function in ExtUtils::Install. But you have to find and feed it the right .packlist. The .packlist lives in the architecture directory for the module. Something like /path/to/your/perl/lib/linux-686/auto/Foo/Bar/.packlist Yes, it should be easier. If you just want to ensure the old versions of a module deleted when you update to a newer version, install using "make install UNINST=1". -- Michael G Schwern [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.pobox.com/~schwern/ They had applied the blinders of steam-grilled hamburgers to my eyes.
