> Unless you configure it to ignore bloat then you won't avoid this

For the aim of parsing all Perl&POD source locally I'd need to pull all text and ignore binaries and other "bloat" (to be defined) to save disc space.

But this won't be faster in net-load, since AFAIK does filtering happen after downloading the full dist's tgz. °
