Can you please tell me the steps I need to follow in order to obtain an account on CPAN? I'd like to contribute some modules. A while back, I tried to create an account, and I remember I got back a mail containing some of this text:

The following links are only valid for PAUSE maintainers: and there were 2 links :

  • Registration form with editing capabilities:

and

  • Immediate (one click) registration:

I remember I clicked on the Immediate registration but it asked me for a username & password.I did not knew how to go on from there. Was I going in the wrong direction? Does anyone have a step by step account registration tutorial?

perl cpan

It's been so long since I created my CPAN account that I almost forgot. But you need to go to http://pause.perl.org/ and click "Request a PAUSE Account". PAUSE is the upload backend for CPAN, and from there you can register your account, create a new module, etc.

Send email to modules@perl.org for assistance. Browse the archives for your PAUSE id application.
