I've written a Perl script
(http://home.ix.netcom.com/~mchase/zip/clean_setup.zip) that identifies
module versions that aren't in the latest setup.ini and optionally deletes
them.  Extract the script to the base directory of you local cache and run
it with '-h' to see the available options.

The script will also move the archive files to the base directory tree if
you select the '-Move' option.
