It is the point in this case, this is software currently under development
(or at least that was the impression I got from Flame, perhaps in the CB?).
Yes, it's probably not best to remove *every* version of something.
On the other hand, CPAN is more like your local public
library than the Library of Congress; they can't
be expected to keep everything for all time.
If your code is "in the wild", isn't it already
functional, all dependencies met? Besides it's
generally a good idea to keep a virgin copy of
the software you use.
As Kanji mentioned Backpan (.../AVATAR).
Oh, and finally, this would also be a place were
code abstraction would be a Good Thing ;-)

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).

Want more info? How to link
or How to display code and escape characters
are good places to start.
