Subject: Cleaning up directory
Every now and again I find more than one version of modules in my CPAN::Mini directory. The attached program removes this fluff. Feel free to include it within a contrib directory.

Thanks. I'm pretty sure that what you're seeing is intended behavior, though. CPAN-Mini is meant to mirror every dist which has a package indexed in 02packages. Sometimes there are {n>1} versions of one dist installed, because Dist-1.00 had Dist::Pkg, which is later removed in Dist-2.00. It would be nice to have an option to minicpan, maybe --unique-dists, to do this during mirror time. Maybe I'll have a look at adding that, unless you want to work cleanminicpan into that... :) -- rjbs
