Well, cpan is not really a package management system; cpan is more of a package installer, it can resolve dependencies as well, but apparently not in a way that allows it to know if it can safely remove a package or not.
Never the less, there is hope!
There is a cpan package that can actually remove packages :) it installs a tool to remove packages, I'm not sure it does it in an intelligent way actually; but it did it for me.
So, what is it?
The module is App::pmuninstall ; it stands for Perl Module Uninstall. To install pmuninstall just do:
sudo cpan -i App:pmuninstall
then use it to remove modules as it provides a command which is "pm-uninstall":
pm-unistall
for example:
pm-uninstall XML::SAX
FUCK RELIGIOUS NATIONALISM; FUCK ISLAMISM, FUCK ZIONISM, FUCK DOMINIONISM!
