Re^2: User Profile Element: CPAN author ID

While it would probably be far too much work for the small benefit, I'll just mention that MetaCPAN has a "Profiles" section for each user which allows them to specify their accounts at various other sites. One of these sites is PerlMonks so MetaCPAN may already be linking back to the monastery for some users. If you could verify that both ends of this connection say the same thing (eg. PerlMonks user Foo says in their profile that their PAUSE ID is BAR, and user BAR at MetaCPAN says their PerlMonks ID is Foo) then that should suffice for validation.

I'm not seeing any "profiles" section on metacpan. Can you please provide a link to it? tia.	[reply]

E.g. on my user page, you can see 5 icons under PROFILES: GitHub, PerlMonks, Reddit, StackOverflow, and Twitter. In my computer browser, it's displayed on the left between WEBSITE and ACTIVITY. `map{substr$_->[0],$_->[1]\|\|0,1}[\\|\|{},3],[[]],[ref qr-1,-,-1],[{}],[sub{}^ARGV,3]`	[reply] [d/l]

and MetaCPAN has an API exposing it: https://fastapi.metacpan.org/v1/author/CHOROBA NB: pause-id must be upper-cased Cheers Rolf _{(addicted to the Perl Programming Language :) Wikisyntax for the Monastery}	[reply]

Right. Do you know how that info got there? I do: it comes from PAUSE. See https://pause.perl.org/pause/authenquery?ACTION=edit_cred	[reply]
