Goodbye, Twitter! It was fun while it lasted -- and then it was the opposite of fun. Like really not fun. Not at all. Not even close. This will be our last Twitter status update. Let's continue the conversation at @metacpan" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">fosstodon.org/@metacpan Over and out.

I have just released version 2.16 of WWW::Mechanize to @metacpan. This release comes with changes to tests, a new feature, more docs and a Perl version bump and has contributions from 5 different people. See metacpan.org/dist/WWW-Mecha… and read on for more details. #perl

We're lazy.

@larsbalker @metacpan That's all fair, and if I were implementing a new site today that had logins I'd likely do this too, with external authentication having become quite mature and standardized. But MetaCPAN was the first site I saw so far with that limitation so it seemed more unprecedented.

It's just easier to outsource the authentication and not have to worry about passwords, encryption, resetting passwords, setting up 2 factor auth etc. Over the lifetime of MetaCPAN, maybe one person has publicly refused to create an account specifically because of this reason.

@markjgardner @metacpan @Twitter @github @Google Not yet having needed to login to MetaCPAN I didn't realize until now that it appears to rely exclusively on external identity providers. Can there not be an option for an internal identity provider using my email address or such so it can work by itself?

Just hearing about this today. If you do use Twitter as your primary MetaCPAN login, now would be a good time to add another method to that list.
Mark Gardner@markjgardner

@metacpan has one week to migrate and inform any users to use a different login method than @Twitter. If you use your Twitter account to log in there, help them along and switch it to the only other choices, @github or @Google.
