Bod has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

In trying to help installing WWW::Mechanize::Chrome in Strawberry Perl I was trying to install IO::Async but made a typo! I left it doing its thing whilst walking the hound and returned a little over an hour later to find lots if Tk windows popping up during the tests for one of the many dependencies that are being installed...

  1. Is there a simple way to see all the modules that have been recently installed?
  2. Is it possible to delete (some of) them?
  3. Does it matter that there are modules installed that I don't know what they are or what they do?

Disc space is not at a premium so I an sort of assuming that all these modules will just sit there worrying nobody so long as I don't actually use them.

Edited to correct typo in question and to add that the typo I initially made was cpan --force install IO::ASnyc
