OT: remember to check your rt.cpan.org with your pause login

If you're like me and you have some modules on cpan, you may get tickets for bugs from time to time for http://rt.cpan.org
I get stuff, reply.. work on it.. etc.

I've been a fool, because I just logged in with my proper login for http://rt.cpan.org.. which is your pause.perl.org login.. And voila.. I got this listing of a buncha old tickets I had not addressed before! I feel like a retard.

So.. If you have work on cpan.. every now and then..

Log into http://rt.cpan.org
Use your pause.perl.org login- don't use your bitcard login- it may not register the same for you, it didn't for me!
Update your tickets! :-)

The bug ticketing system at cpan is really a work of beauty- I'm so thankful that this much work was put into it.
Really a wonderful service to the community.

I'm surprised you didn't get messages to your pauseid@cpan.org mail address. You really should have. Perhaps your anti-spam filtering is too aggressive. -Paul	[reply]

See, I did. And I went ahead and worked with that back and forth, via email- via my pauseid@cpan.org as you point out. But there were things I missed, that's why I wanted to note - logging into http://rt.cpan.org with the pause login- might be good to do every now and then.	[reply]
