Update : I probably should explicitly state that the Perl module "App::pmuninstall" is authored by Yuji Shimada. And I forgot to say "Thanks, Yuji"! :)

Wouldn't it make more sense to include this functionality directly into cpanm?
Nice module! If it also could detect wether or not a module was installed by a packaging system (e.g. RPM, DEB) and handle those appropriately... :)
Still, having it as a separate module is nice. Especially if it's done in a way that cpan, cpanp and cpanm can make use of. :D
@nxadm I would say no... but then, they're not my modules. :)
Miyagawa created cpanm to do one thing and do it simply... and it does so. Yuji did likewise.
I think it'd be helpful if their respective Pod perhaps suggested the other (more so to get from cpanm to point you towards pmuninstall than vice versa) but beyond that, separation of concerns seems good to me.
Great, thanks for sharing. I needed to do this today. :)
Thanks for the tip. I used this and successfully uninstalled the module
