This software allows users to create a smaller and simplified copy of CPAN, a large Perl programming language repository. It helps in minimizing the size of the repository by removing unnecessary modules and reduce the dependency graph.
The module includes only a select number of files, including 01mailrc.txt.gz, 02packages.details.txt.gz, 03modlist.data.gz, and the last non-developer release of every distribution for every author. This means that you won't be bogged down by unnecessary files cluttering your system.
Overall, I found CPAN::Mini to be incredibly easy to use and effective at building and updating my local mirror of the CPAN. I would highly recommend this module to any developer looking to save space on their computer and streamline their development process.
