...clean your $HOME the easy way!

Usually you don't see them, but every program you give a try is saving user preferences within your $HOME directory - it polutes your Homedirectory!
Over the years my $HOME grew and grew - mostly by old .-Files and .-Directories. Last weekend I had a detailed look and thought: Well - too bad! Need to clean up - but .. is ".xyz" really important? Where does it come from?

I ended up with writing a pluggable Perl program providing me information from apt, showing me last modification and so -- CleanHome was born.

After I read some posts like this, I decided to release CleanHome to publicity - hoping that people will contribute to the main part: The knowledge database about which .-File/Directory belongs to which application.

A first release does exist, thus give it a try!
Would be glad to get some feedback about the idea, input to the knowledge database or even additional plugins!
