No, I don't have problems with listing it with rpm. But thanks for the sample. That ^ is a new one to me. :-) What I'm after is how to know that modules are installed and maybe how to remove them. I know that a program has been installed into the system, and then I've upgraded it using CPAN. But when I did it with another system, I noticed that there is a newer version. So I tried to get the first one updated again, but it kept telling me that its already uptodate. So I plan to remove it then install fresh. With the script I found in the CPAN site, it says the module was removed. Then I tried to install the module using CPAN but it says its already updated. So I'm not sure whether/how its still installed 'coz when I run the script it, it doesn't indicate that the program is there. > > I suggest that you learn how to do it in Perl.

Any idea what effect does installing the program from a tar file would do to an existing perl module? Would there be any conflicts or will the files be just upgraded? Thanks. God bless.
