Subject: .cpanm directory size control
I think cpanm should control the size of .cpanm build directory, and that should not be a problem left to the user. [ambs@rachmaninoff foo]$ du -hs ~/.cpanm/ 590M /Users/ambs/.cpanm/ Cheers

Adding support to check size of the directory and cleanup slows things down (like CPAN.pm does *before* your install by default which is annoying) and makes cpanm not stateless.

Just let me say that for a stateless app, cpanminus is taking too much disk space. [ambs@rachmaninoff set01]$ du -hs ~/.cpanm/ 279M /Users/ambs/.cpanm/ This is *NOT* the definition of a stateless application. Cheers Alberto

Also, you can remove all work directories after a successfull build. Not that big deal/time consuming. Only failed builds would be poluting that path. Cheers.

It *is* stateless because you can safely rm -r the whole directory and cpanm doesn't care.
