The next time the master CPAN server syncs from PAUSE after the deletion, your files should start disappearing from the servers that sync from the master, and so on down the chain. This could take a several days for everything to catch up. Next, if you completely want the module and its to disappear, you can tell PAUSE to forget about the module. Go to the "Edit Module Metadata" itam, choose the module you want to affect, then at the bottom of the metadata page there is a setting called "Lifecycle". Choose "Can be deleted from database" [URL]https://pause.perl.org/pause/authenquery?ACTION=edit_mod[/URL] This doesn't remove the files from BackPAN, which is the historical archive of CPAN. If you have to do that for some reason, such as someone taking legal action against you, send me a personal email and I can get you started on that. I don't control that stuff, but I know the people who do. In general, you can also write to modules AT perl DOT org to get the attention of the PAUSE admins (I'm one of them) for help dealing with module administration issues. Good luck, [/QUOTE]
