Get list of version for particular CPAN distribution ?

[vsespb]

Hello.

I need to get list (programmatically, via API) of all versions of a particular CPAN module.

For example for MIME-Base64 it is 3.13 3.11 3.10 3.09 3.08.

Is there a way to do it without parsing HTML ?

There are a lot of CPAN APIs, but seems none of them provide list of older versions.

Seems I found a solution

    use BackPAN::Index;
    my $backpan = BackPAN::Index->new;
    my $dist = $backpan->dist("MIME-Base64");
    my $releases = $dist->releases;
    print join "\n", map { $_->version } $releases->all;

it uses BackPAN however (i.e. includes obsolete versions). But for me it's not a major problem.
