My development releases have now been scheduled for deletion...not that they will make a huge difference in the big scheme of thing but every little helps I guess... Thanks for sharing.	[reply]

In the Netherlands we have "Alle kleine beetjes helpen." (all small bits add up to the larger goal). I removed 4.4 Mb. I keep the last one and the one before to enable to diff option in metacpan. Thanks for pushing it to PM. I also got this on IRC. Enjoy, Have FUN! H.Merijn	[reply]

You can do diffs with backpan versions on metacpan: https://metacpan.org/diff/file?target=BKB/Image-SVG-Path-0.36/lib%2FImage%2FSVG%2FPath.pod&source=BKB%2FImage-SVG-Path-0.35%2Flib%2FImage%2FSVG%2FPath.pod You can also do diffs between different backpan versions: https://metacpan.org/diff/file?target=BKB/Image-SVG-Path-0.02/&source=BKB%2FImage-SVG-Path-0.01	[reply]

I did some totaling of numbers in CPAN/BackPAN indices so you can get a better picture.	[reply]

I make it a habit to delete the previous release when I upload a new one. All of my releases have the latest and at most one older version - the rest are on BackPAN. Cheers.	[reply]
