Hi all,

How to deinstall a perl module (bsdpan-MailTools-1.64) that has been 
installed using CPAN ?

I would like to deinstall that module manually and then reinstall It 
from the port tree.

The reason why is that everytime I try ton deinstall a port I have 
these nasty messages :

> ns2# pkg_deinstall qt
> --->  Deinstalling 'qt-3.3.3_3'
> pkg_delete: package 'qt-3.3.3_3' is required by these other packages
> and may not be deinstalled:
> arts-1.3.2,1
> qca-tls-1.0_1
> sdl-1.2.8,2
> ** Listing the failed packages (*:skipped / !:failed)
>         ! qt-3.3.3_3    (pkg_delete failed)
> --->  Packages processed: 0 done, 0 ignored, 0 skipped and 1 failed
> ns2# pkg_deinstall sdl-1.2.8,2
> --->  Deinstalling 'sdl-1.2.8,2'

This is getting on my nerves and I would like to clean this and install 
It the proper way (the BSD one !).


Sincerly yours;
