[Chicago-talk] Module install problem

[Doug Bell]

A PAUSE ID is how one uploads modules to CPAN. PAUSE is the Perl Authors Upload Server (http://pause.perl.org <http://pause.perl.org/>). CPAN is a network of machines all mirrored from the PAUSE upload server. Co-maint would mean that you'd be able to release WWW::Contact to CPAN; that you'd be an authorized co-maintainer.

Looks like they shipped a new version which fixes the warning (it was just a warning, and probably shouldn't have been causing a failure to install), but are mentioning that it may not work still because Google may have removed the API it was using for a new, OAuth-based API.
