Trying to install PDL under cygwin on Vista I've been getting:
Hugh@Home-PC ~
$ cpan -i PDL
CPAN: File::HomeDir loaded ok (v0.80)
CPAN: Storable loaded ok (v2.18)
Going to read /home/Hugh/.cpan/Metadata
Database was generated on Tue, 08 Jul 2008 19:02:48 GMT
CPAN: YAML loaded ok (v0.66)
Going to read /home/Hugh/.cpan/build/
............................................................................DONE
Found 4 old builds, restored the state of 3
Running install for module 'PDL'
Running make for C/CS/CSOE/PDL-2.4.3.tar.gz
Has already been unwrapped into directory /home/Hugh/.cpan/build/PDL-2.4.3-cVc

I can't see any option for removing the old builds. If I poked around in the metadata directory I could possibly figure out what is going on, but there is the risk that I would corrupt the data. `cpan -c` doesn't seem to clear this stuff out. The whole point of CPAN is modules and hence interfaces that one does not break. I should not be having to attempt to clear this out by hand, should I? Is this a missing option, or have I failed to see something that is there? Searching with google has not turned up anything useful. How is it intended that I clear this out so it forgets about old builds and starts afresh, please?
