Semi-OT perl question

[John Rudd <jr...@ucsc.edu>]

So, this is really a perl question, but it happened as part of my 
installing SA 3.2.1

I was going to install HTTP::Date as an optional requirement for SA.  It 
installed fine on my dev servers, but not on my test servers (for some 
unknown reason).  So, now I want to _uninstall_ it from my dev servers.


1) it was installed via CPAN.  Anyone know of a good way to uninstall 
perl modules in general, esp. ones installed via CPAN?  There's lots of 
little files to track down... and a manifest, right?

2) will I have to also reinstall (and thus maybe uninstall) SA 3.2.1, or 
will SA just see that the module's not there anymore and not have any 
hiccups?

(I install SA via make, but I didn't check if there's a make uninstall 
... which I guess might also be how I'd uninstall HTTP::Date ... just 
download the package and do that ... but I wanted to know if anyone here 
has a best practice for it)

That does look helpful!
