Issue #458 - 2020-05-04 - Are you CPAN module author?
latest | archive | edited by Mohammad Sajid Anwar

Hi there
If your answer to the question in the subject line is "yes" then you should have an email account @cpan.org. There is a good news for all the CPAN module authors that all emails are now going to be SPAM filtered by Pobox.com (part of Fastmail family). It also mentioned that less 7% of emails sent to @cpan.org are valid. It is a big improvement in my humble opinion.
COVID-19, how you are keeping yourself busy? I am using the break to learn Raku. Please do share yours idea.
Last but not the least, "stay at home, protect the NHS, save lives" as promoted by UK government.
