in thread Losing faith in CPAN - unresponsive module authors

...I am nearly always easily found on IRC and I hand out PAUSE permissions freely.

Suggestion: set up your cpan.org email address with an auto-responder that says what you just said above. That's at least a step towards being a good CPAN author. :-) Much friendlier than having email black-hole.

    No, I'd need to have a server running somewhere that I could host that on. If we had CPAN project pages as an automatic feature of having a distribution, this might be trivial.

      Not to argue either way but you could manage this with a Gmail account. Have the cpan address go to it and set-up an autoresponder on it.

        Oh, right. I didn't think of that.
