+  How do I remove installed Perl modules?
+   By using the ExtUtils::Installed and ExtUtils::Packlist modules that

+   example in the ExtUtils::Packlist man page.
+  
+  #!/usr/local/bin/perl -w

+      unlink $item;
+  }
+  my $packfile = $inst->packlist($mod)->packlist_file();
+  print "removing $packfile\n";
+  unlink $packfile;
