remove Net::SMTP perl module

[bluethundr]

Currently, my Net::SMTP installation is interfering with my twiki setup and I need to remove it. How do you remove a perl module that was installed with perl -MCPAN -e shell ?

For exactly that purpose (not for twiki, but for testing different Perl's Oracle modules) I have used this script:


#!/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;

Found it after Googling a bit, about a year ago, I guess.
Be sure to modify the interpreter's path to suit your needs.
