I've created my own local copy of CPAN with minicpan and managed to reconfigure cpan to use it - Fantastic!
..but how would I go about using it with cpanminus?

To install Perl modules using CPAN, you need to use the cpan command-line utility. You can either run cpan with arguments from the command-line interface, for example, to install a module (e.g Geo::IP) use the -i flag as shown.
CPAN doesn't actually install files. It runs the install script embedded in each distribution, which then performs the actual install. For distributions using ExtUtils::MakeMaker, the defaults are documented here: https://metacpan.org/pod/ExtUtils::MakeMaker#make-install (and the default value of INSTALLDIRS is site ).
This should be possible using --mirror-onlyoption.
For example:
cpanm --mirror ~/minicpan --mirror-only
