It's time for Spring cleaning again. If you have ancient versions of modules sitting around in your PAUSE directory, consider letting them retire to BackPAN (http://backpan.cpan.org). They don't disappear from the world, but they don't inflate CPAN either. You don't have to do anything, but many mirror operators might be happy that you did. :)
It's pretty simple. Log into your PAUSE account and follow the "Delete files" link: https://pause.perl.org/pause/authenquery?ACTION=delete_files Select the files that you can retire and schedule them for deletion. In three days, PAUSE deletes them. That gives you a chance to change your mind. Let's see how high we can increase the Schwartz: http://use.perl.org/~brian_d_foy/journal/8314
