I was going to use CPAN::Mini::Inject for a current project, but decided that for our needs we would use a hacked version of the mkpackages script that comes with CPAN::Site (I submitted the more general changes I made to the author) - the mkpackages script walks through your local CPAN repository and builds the 02packages.details.txt.gz file, and extracts README's from the *.tar.gz files and creates the *.readme files in your local repository. This script does not fill in author info - it creates an empty 01mailrc.txt.gz if one doesn't exist.

In my hacked mkpackages script I use the CPAN::Checksums module to create the CHECKSUMS files - I wanted a script that I could point at our local CPAN repository and have it build the entire 02packages.details.txt.gz file and all the CHECKSUMS files based on whatever is in our local repository at that time.

In order to add specific version of CPAN modules to our local repository I wrote a separate fetch_and_inject.pl script that takes a CPAN file name, or list of names, e.g. S/SS/SSORICHE/CPAN-Mini-Inject-0.18.tar.gz and goes and fetches that specific file from a public CPAN repository, and puts it in our local repository, creating the authorid subdirectories if needed.
