While the CPAN process is quick and easy to publish modules and get code from the web, it still lacks an "uninstall" function. There are a number of ad-hoc tools that (attempt to) uninstall CPAN modules, but the package manager itself has only the install action [0].

Using the system package manager has worked much better for me.

People still use Perl?
It's still alive and pretty vibrant. And of course, Perl is used extensively at my startup, Semantics3(yc w13) :)
I am glad to hear that you are using Perl at Semantics3. I like what you guys are doing :)
