However, the source URL does not really need to be updated (it will still mirror the file); www.cpan.org is not changing, only search.cpan.org is. If there is any source URL using the search.cpan.org mirror that could be updated: http://search.cpan.org/CPAN/authors/id/... -> https://www.cpan.org/authors/id/... or https://cpan.metacpan.org/authors/id/... -Dan _______________________________________________ perl-devel mailing list -- perl-devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe send an email to perl-devel-leave@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Fedora Code of Conduct: https://getfedora.org/code-of-conduct.html List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/perl-devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx/message/K2ACTGGZUAJZQHXFO43UO6FQZP3ITRWB/
