Any MARC experts? I have no idea about the above error.

Other than a manual seek and destroy, I do not know if CPAN will
help you deleting the modules.

You can find out which modules have been installed and where
they were installed by examining the install pod with perldoc:


perldoc perllocal


which produces the following (edited) output on my system:


PERLLOCAL(1)          User Contributed Perl Documentation         PERLLOCAL(1)

        Mon Apr  9 14:26:35 2007: "Module" Event
        ?   "installed into: /usr/local/share/perl/5.8.8"
        ?   "VERSION: 1.08"

        Mon Apr  9 14:30:18 2007: "Module" MARC::Record
        ?   "installed into: /usr/local/share/perl/5.8.8"
        ?   "VERSION: 2.0"

etc.

If you find that only your Koha related modules are in
/usr/local/share/perl/5.8.8 (or wherever), simply delete the
entire directory and start again.
