in thread User Profile Element: CPAN author ID

What do you think of switching to this new "official" method?

I think just do it - though the "authentication" issue is interesting.
I'd probably be a bit pissed off if someone else claimed that he had the CPAN ID "Sisyphus".
But then, there's nothing to stop anyone who could be bothered editing their "Location" setting from doing that right now, anyway.

Cheers,
Rob

    Quite; that's why I disabled it, and require that the user submit a request to the gods instead.

    Good point. Ah well. All part of the fun, I guess.

    I reckon we are the only monastery ever to have a dungeon staffed with 16,000 zombies.

      I did but nothing (seems to have) happened...

      Perhaps the Gods are busy!
