Here is a misunderstanding on your side. Here you should only insert a mail address you actually own. You can't simply choose an @cpan.org address and hope that it magically starts working. But read on... > > If you leave this field empty, PAUSE will use the public email address > for communicating with you. > [[email protected]] > > The email address [email protected] should be configured to forward mail to > ... > [ ]my public email address [*]my secret email address [ ]neither nor This looks correct and you should get mail that is sent to [email protected] at your [email protected] address. But please note, that google is your big brother and does not send you mail that is originating from yourself. So while it should work, you cannot test it yourself. > What should I do? (1) change the publicly visible email address, it is bogus. (2) ask a friend to send a test message to [email protected] for you. Good luck, let me know when you need further help, -- andreas
