hi all...

if you have a module on cpan in the Apache:: namespace, please take a moment
to consider cleaning house a bit by removing all but, say, the current
version and one version back of a particular module.

you can do this by visiting pause

  https://pause.perl.org/pause/authenquery?ACTION=delete_files

please note that this is in no way a mandate.  but doing so helps keep
current CPAN to a reasonable size, and also gives people looking for modules
less cruft to sift through (my particular issue today :)

for the record, pause.cpan.org has this to say when you delete a module:

  "Note: to encourage deletions, all of past CPAN glory is collected on
http://history.perl.org/backpan/";

anyway, below is a list of modules that have more than 2 versions on CPAN at
the moment.  if one of these is yours, please give some thought to whether
those old versions are really worth making available to the general public.
