Harder then to pkg_delete/make deinstall things. Substantially harder
for quite a number of people.
And if you try make uninstall for a CPAN package (a natural way to this,
right?), you'll get:
Uninstall is deprecated. Please check the packlist above carefully.
There may be errors. Remove the appropriate files manually.
Sorry for the inconveniences.
Some time ago I myself was arguing against having p5- ports in favor of
just using CPAN. I have changed my opinion.
Cheers,
^Anton.
