Subject: What is "manually remove old HTML-FormFu files"?
During my attempt to install CFRANKS/HTML-FormFu-0.09002.tar.gz I got this warning: Files from an older, pre-0.09000 version of HTML-FormFu have been detected in directory: '/home/src/perl/repoperls/installed-perls/perl/v5.13.7-233-g1e69603/lib/site_perl/5.13.7'. This will cause problems if you use HTML::FormFu::Preload, and will also cause spurious warnings during the test suite run. We strongly recommend you manually remove old HTML-FormFu files before continuing. Continue? It would be nice if this text could be amended such that the user knows how to proceed now. I have no ideas which files that would be. I have 216 files there: % find /home/src/perl/repoperls/installed-perls/perl/v5.13.7-233-g1e69603/lib/site_perl/5.13.7/ -type f | grep FormFu | wc -l 216 Ok, I delete them all. Oh no, now I made a mistake. Oh, my perl is gone. Oh well.

The best way to go about removing another copy of perl libraries is very specific to a persons machine. Perhaps apt-get, or yum, maybe its installed with cpanm... Perhaps you could suggest a message which encourages the person in the right direction?

Sorry this was never addressed. Doesn't seem likely to be an issue now after this time.
