Re: User Profile Element: CPAN author ID

We have just added a new field to the user profile: CPAN author ID. You can put your PAUSE author ID in this field.

I've been displaying that information on my user profile for years as "CPAN Directory".
Looks like I wrote it all into the "Location" field, as was suggested to me by some other monk.
(It definitely wasn't my own original solution, but it has provided what I wanted.)

Cheers,
Rob

OK, Cool.... What do you think of switching to this new "official" method?	[reply]

What do you think of switching to this new "official" method? I think just do it - though the "authentication" issue is interesting. I'd probably be a bit pissed off if someone else claimed that he had the CPAN ID "Sisyphus". But then, there's nothing to stop anyone who could be bothered editing their "Location" setting from doing that right now, anyway. Cheers, Rob	[reply]

... if someone else claimed that he had the CPAN ID "Sisyphus" Quite; that's why I disabled it, and require that the user submit a request to the gods instead. But then, there's nothing to stop anyone who could be bothered editing their "Location" setting from doing that right now, anyway. Good point. Ah well. All part of the fun, I guess. I reckon we are the only monastery ever to have a dungeon staffed with 16,000 zombies.	[reply]
