Subject: CPAN::Mini enhancement
Hi Ricardo!
Thanks very much for CPAN::Mini - it's a great piece of code.
Please can you consider the following patch. It adds in a new method
called "cut". The idea is that it will cut the current version of the
minicpan with a "release name" and will hard link all the modules
inside. This allows a way of installing a specific set of modules for
a given release. You can then refer to the specific minicpan release
with http://minicpan/{release_name}.
I've also introduced a new helper method called _merge_args. This is
because I use CPAN::Mini::Inject to run command line options, but I
get an error if remote is not defined. However, the cut method
doesn't require remote and this saves a LWP request to the remote
server.
