Failed modules installation CPAN
up vote

With the premise that macOS (Mojave in my case) comes with Perl pre-installed, I was trying to install few additional Perl modules through CPAN, with the following command:
cpan install Foo::Bar
I got 2 modules installed, the third failed the installation because of a missing .h file.
I decide to delete the folder in my home named .cpan (was a hidden folder) and I installed Perl through brew with the following command:
brew install perl
Reinstalled again the three modules through CPAN and the installation completed with an OK for all of the three modules.
- Was a bad idea to delete the .cpan folder?
- Is there anything else that I have to do to clean up the previous CPAN modules installation?

If the "brew install perl" installs a separate installation of Perl, then the only thing you need to do is only use that Perl going forward. Perls don't (and generally can't) use each other's module installation directories.

The.cpandirectory is just a directory for the CPAN.pm cpan client's configuration and cache, so deleting it just clears that.
