Just thinking out loud. I have minicpan to mirror to my laptop, to whit I point my cpan shell, and all of my Parallels guest OS CPAN shells to install dists.
Then there's cpaninject, which allows me to inject a dev version into my local CPAN cache, but what I really need is to inject into my minicpan mirror for all to use.
I see the options to set destination directories in CPAN::Inject. I can write a script that groks the same settings minicpan uses to find a mirror directory. Seems like I wouldn't be the only one to want to do this.
What about instead, a new option to minicpan itself?
minicpan -i my-dist-0.01.tar.gz that injects into the mirror?

I changed my mind. No offense to the author, but it's old (2005) and it's over complicated compared to CPAN::Inject. It doesn't even read the same config that minicpan uses (~/.minicpan):
mcpani will search the following four places in order:
* file pointed to by the environment variable MCPANI_CONFIG
* $HOME/.mcpani/config
*/usr/local/etc/mcpani
*/etc/mcpani I still vote that CPAN::Mini/minicpan add a -i that simply sets CPAN::Inject->sources from it's config and runs with it.
