title: How can I de-install a Perl module installed via `cpan`?
body: <p>I am using Perl running in user space (not installed via root) and installing modules via the command-line <code>cpan</code>. I would like to know if there is a simple way to remove a module without having to do a lot of work deleting individual files.</p>
  
  <p>I searched for this question on the internet and found some answers, but the answers I've found seem to either discuss using the Perl package manager (specific for Microsoft Windows), otherwise operating-system specific (BSDpan), suggesting using cpanplus (which I've had several bad experiences with), or ended by pointing to a dead link as follows: <code>http://www.cpan.org/misc/cpan-faq.html#How_delete_Perl_modules</code>.</p>
  
  <p>My question is specifically whether there is a clean way to remove a module installed via <code>cpan</code>.</p>
