I don't know the answer and in the absence of additional help, I would try the following: 1. untar the module, run perl MAKEFILE.PL ( the perl script that builds the make file for the given system) or what ever it is called and then try make uninstall if you are lucky it should uninstall itself. 2. build an rpm from the module using cpanflute[2] install the package and erase it. 3. If you think it is going to work, find the rpm and rpm -ivh --justdb rpmfile. you can try to verify it but I suspect that the file locations might be different.
