CPAN and Subversion Hack
I maintain a few modules on CPAN, and not all of my modules are in my svn repo.(I know, I know, shame on me) I wanted to capture the change history from my previous releases instead of just committing the most recent version. My idea was to download all versions from backpan and cpan and commit them sequentially, tagging each version so I could easily diff between release versions.
Yesterday, I created some Perl scripts to do just that. I started off by running cpansvn on Data-ObjectDriver, authored by Ben Trott, and Sprocket, authored by me. These two modules have from 5-7 releases and are good test subjects for me.
Eventually, I'll automate the whole process, and watch all modules on CPAN....

I did a very similar thing a couple of years ago.
