Thanks. Yes there is an uninstall, it was in "Makefile". I did that and
it lets
me know where to manually remove things from.
Eg.
Apache-DBILogin-1.6:# make uninstall
unlink /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.005/Apache/DBILogin.pm
unlink /usr/share/man/man3/Apache::DBILogin.3pm
unlink
/usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.005/i586-linux/auto/Apache/DBILogin/.packlist
Uninstall is deprecated. Please check the packlist above carefully.
There may be errors. Remove the appropriate files manually.
Sorry for the inconveniences.
Well it seems like one is not normally supposed to remove Perl modules
often :-)
Thanks for the help.
Mike
