remove module from minicpan

forkboy has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

I have a local MINICPAN repository, but I want to remove a specific version of a module, and inject an older version.
This is the steps I've taken.

    - create the MINICPAN, not filtering any modules
    - use mcpani --add for the module in question
    - use mcpani --inject
[download]

At this point, I can see in the MINICPAN that it has both the version I want, and the newer version, if I issue install in cpan, then the newer version of the module is install. How can I get rid of the newer version from my minicpan, without starting again and using filters. Note: Repost from stackoverflow, thought there might be more response here.

Did you also post this to Stackoverflow as How can I exclude a module from a minicpan repository? That's where I've answered the question already. It's normally polite to point out where else you might have asked so you don't cause twice the work for the community. :) -- brian d foy <brian@stonehenge.com> Subscribe to The Perl Review	[reply]
