http://search.cpan.org/~adamk/CPAN-Mini-Extract-0.13/lib/CPAN/Mini/Extract.pm

   # Create a CPAN extractor
   my $cpan = CPAN::Mini::Extract->new(
       remote         => 'http://mirrors.kernel.org/cpan/',
       local          => '/home/adam/.minicpan',
       trace          => 1,
       extract        => '/home/adam/.cpanextracted',
       extract_filter => sub { /\.pm$/ and ! /\b(inc|t)\b/ },
       extract_check  => 1,
       );

   # Run the minicpan process
   $cpan->run;

Why not get all of them.

You could just tweak that extract_filter line to only extract the 
Change/ChangeLog etc files from the CPAN archives, and it should grab a 
minicpan and extract ALL the changelog files.

Unfortunately, it doesn't have a YAML config file-based front-end yet, 
but now that YAML::Tiny mostly works I'll do that eventually.
