in reply to CPAN Authorhood

Should I really worry about how employers will view my claim that I authored modules if I use a handle? Does it really matter?

If it were me (and it's not), I'd go ahead and use my real name, mostly for the reasons you already cited: employment opportunities, credibility, permanence, etc..

There's really no good reason *not* to use your name.

All that being said, it's really beside the point. Long term, quality of work is just about the only thing that defines you professionally.

    Oh I don't know about that ;-) Depends on the quality of the code. There are some CPAN authors I wouldn't work with if they paid me!
