in reply to Perl modules confusion
I installed some using cpan and some (same ones) manually into a self-made local folder.
I would like to clean up my modules installations and only install those (older versions) I need
simple, go to your self-made local folder and check the perl modules installed there, remove/delete the directories/files (modules), which you don't need.

2) How can I clean up the modules installations and install older versions of the same modules?
IMO, unless to tell perl that use the self-made local folder as a lib path, perl will still continue to use its own standard lib path that is there in @INC.
so remove the lib path which indicates your self-made local folder to Perl. It will work as normal and use your older versions of modules. :)
