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. :)

Thanks for your reply!
Guess I'm also lucky that I stated that it wasn't a complaint! ;)
I did read the About PAUSE, but yeap, I missed the "modules@perl.org is not a mailing list. Please do not try to subscribe.", or I wouldn't be asking here.
Regarding the December 2 mail, I only got the automatic response of my own e-mail, never got _your_ response. That is why I wrote you on Dec 9 saying that I had seen your response on an archive (had to wait several days for it to show up on the archive) and could not reply because I could not subscribe to this list. You promptly responded 2h later stating that I could not subscribe to the list: "No one can subscribe to modules@perl.org. You just send messages to it." So, I just assumed it was a private list.
I wrote you back early the next day with:

I see. But your reply never reached my cpan.org address. I had to wait a few days to see it on an archive. Is that how it's supposed to work?
Thanks! and sorry for all the newbieness ;-)

Since I never got your reply to this last mail, I assumed I was being too buggy and that this info was available somewhere. Today, when I processed the registration once again (following your suggestions, BTW, and it got approved!) I remembered the incident and asked for the info here to see what other people thought about it.

I posted the above thinking I was logged in so if you want to vote on it, do it on this node and not the Anonymous node. Thanks.

It's really not necessary to register namespaces these days. | [reply] |
