Does the first directory contain symlinks to the files in the second? You |
| 15 |
should exclude symlinks from the process by adding -type f to the find |
| 16 |
command (you can clear up dangling symlinks later). |

If you know which modules you installed with CPAN, you should be able to |
| 26 |
tell which directory contains the files you need to get rid of. Then run |
| 27 |
the find ... --orphans command over that directory and feed its output to |
| 28 |
rm. |
