released CPAN-Mirror-Tiny
I've just released CPAN-Mirror-Tiny to cpan!
What's this?
This is a yet another DarkPAN manager.
Why do we need a new DarkPAN manager?
I used to use OrePAN2. I was satisfied with its functionality, but its dependencies on cpan modules increased more and more. Now OrePAN2 depends on 128 distributions including Moose.
I want to use DarkPAN in CPAN clients. Then minimal dependency and no dependency on XS modules is critical.
My new DarkPAN CPAN-Mirror-Tiny does not depend on XS modules, and depends on only 10 distributions. This is why I made a new DarkPAN manager.

I've just switched from OrePAN2 to CPAN::Mirror::Tiny in Carl, which is a yet anothor Carton.
If we want to make cpan clients support installing modules from any sources (cpan, http, git, ...), then it seems to be easy to create a local cpan mirror first, and install modules from the local cpan mirror. Carl is a proof of concept of that.
