     How do I clear a package? Use this code, provided by Mark-Jason Dominus:

 
sub scrub_package {
    no strict 'refs';
    my $pack = shift;
    die "Shouldn't delete main package" 
    if $pack eq "" || $pack eq "main";
    my $stash = *{$pack . '::'}{HASH};
    my $name;
    foreach $name (keys %$stash) {
    my $fullname = $pack . '::' . $name;
    # Get rid of everything with that name.
    undef $$fullname;
    undef @$fullname;
    undef %$fullname;
    undef &$fullname;
    undef *$fullname;
    }
    }
    

Or, if you're using a recent release of Perl, you can just use the Symbol::delete_package() function instead.
