In ubuntu 10.04 LTS 10.10 and 11.04
The only way i know ( beginner is using cpan in ubuntu ) perl -MCPAN -e
shell does not work that i hoped to clear local cache and reinstall module.
I cannot reinstall modules obviosly is not there any more.

mimma@​mimma​:~$ sudo instmodsh
Available commands are​:
  l - List all installed modules
  m <module> - Select a module
  q - Quit the program
cmd? m XML​::DOM
Available commands are​:
  f [all|prog|doc] - List installed files of a given type
  d [all|prog|doc] - List the directories used by a module
  v - Validate the .packlist - check for missing files
  t <tarfile> - Create a tar archive of the module
  h - Display module help
  q - Quit the module
XML​::DOM cmd? v
XML​::DOM is not installed at /usr/bin/instmodsh line 138

Correct i agree the modules are not there but when trying to reinstall it is
impossible.
Even tried and delete the .cpan directory.

Help please?

The modules are not installed into the .cpan directory. That holds
temporary files used *during* installation. The actual installed module
will be in one of the directories shown by this command​:

perl -le 'print for @​INC'

If you want to force a re-installation, just use the force command in
the cpan shell​:

$ sudo cpan
cpan> force install XML​::DOM
