While the CPAN process is quick and easy to publish modules and get code from the web, it still lacks an "uninstall" function. There are a number of ad-hoc tools that (attempt to) uninstall CPAN modules, but the package manager itself has only the install action [0].

Using the system package manager has worked much better for me.

Hello, author here,

I recommend App::pmuninstall for this task:

pm-uninstall [options] Module
