Nope... just minicpan, still didn't have the time to test CPAN::Mini::LatestDistVersion yet.

ASAP I'll do it and let you know.

    All right, did the test finally. Here is the short sequence:

    1. Update mirror with "standard" CPAN::Mini
    2. Clean up with my script
    3. Repeat, to be sure the count is zero.
    4. Install CPAN::Mini::LatestDistVersion.
    5. Sync with CPAN::Mini::LatestDistVersion.
    6. Run the cleanup script again.
    7. Sync again with CPAN::Mini::LatestDistVersion.

    Result: the cleanup script removed some files, but not as much as using minicpan only.

    And follows the long output of executing those steps:
