Nope. This means that if we add the x_contributors to the META files then the authors can be listed. For now the PAUSE id is deducted from the e-mail if it is give in the foo...@cpan.org form, but maybe that field should just accept 'FOOBAR' and assume that this is a PAUSE id. > Thanks for page, from the links contained it would apier that > CPAN::Meta::Speclink is in need of an update to reflect this new feature. The Spec already says that you can arbitrary x_ tags. If and once this gets popular then I guess it will get a real name and will be added to the spec.
