You submitted the module EAI::AES on December 2 and I responded to it nine hours later. I don't see that you responded to that message, either to me directly or to the modules list. All you have to do is reply to the email you should have received. Update: Whenever I need to check the list for something, I use it's searchable archives.

When you submit a module registration request, it immediately goes to the modules@perl.org address. It's a public address that anyone can send to, just like normal mail. It's not a list at all. It's a mail alias. That's why you can't subscribe to it, as explained in the About PAUSE page under "Register Your Namespace", which also shows you the where to find the archives.

I (or someone else) goes through all of the module registration requests once a day. I either register the module or send comments back to the author at their cpan.org address. I'm not sure why you think it takes several days, but that might be the time between I send you the mail and you discover it. If you've used a bad address in your PAUSE account, or sent it somewhere you don't normally read, you're going to have problems. Your cpan.org address is there so we can contact you without having to do a lot of work to find your email address.

If you have problems with PAUSE, just write to modules@perl.org. You're lucky this time because I just happen to also read Perlmonks. :)
