Hiya

I seem to be struggling with removing a perl bsdpan package.

I tried:

# pkg_delete bsdpan-IO-stringy-2.110

But I get

pkg_delete: package 'bsdpan-IO-stringy-2.110' doesn't have a prefix

I even went to ~/.cpan/build/IO-stringy-2.110-SFns8F/ and ran
# make uninstall

and this is that I got.

Uninstall is unsafe and deprecated, the uninstallation was not performed.
We will show what would have been done.

unlink /usr/local/lib/perl5/5.8.9/man/man3/IO::AtomicFile.3
unlink /usr/local/lib/perl5/5.8.9/man/man3/IO::InnerFile.3
unlink /usr/local/lib/perl5/5.8.9/man/man3/IO::Lines.3

Uninstall is unsafe and deprecated, the uninstallation was not performed.
Please check the list above carefully, there may be errors.
Remove the appropriate files manually.
Sorry for the inconvenience.

If anyone can assist, I would be most grateful.
