PM-UNINSTALL(1p)

🌸 NAME 🌸

pm-uninstall — the girl whose whole job is uninstalling modules 💅

It's a Perl thing, and it lives in section 1p of the manual, so if you're looking for it, that's where it hangs out. 👑

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

pm-uninstall [options] Module ...

Then the options, bestie, in all their glory:

• -v, --verbose — turns on chatty output, so it actually tells you what it's doing instead of ghosting you 🗣️
• -f, --force — uninstalls without prompts, no "are you sure" moment, it just goes 😤
• -c, --checkdeps — check dependencies (and yeah, it defaults to on, so this is the vibe you already have) 🔍
• -n, --no-checkdeps — don't check dependencies, live dangerously 🫣
• -q, --quiet — suppress some messages, shhh 🤫
• -h, --help — this help message, the classic 🎀
• -V, --version — show version, identity check ✨
• -l, --local-lib — additional module path 📁
• -L, --local-lib-contained — additional module path (but don't include non-core modules) 📦

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

pmuninstall is a fast module uninstaller. Like, genuinely fast, no cap. 🏃♀️💨

Here's the tea: it reads the installed files lists out of *.packlist files — the ones that get generated when you install modules using stuff like cpanminus — and then it deletes them. That's the whole main character arc. 🦋

⚠️ Heads up though: it will not even attempt to uninstall modules that were installed by Debian packages. Not its business, not its problem. 🙈
