Hi there!
In the recent weeks I looked at a lot of MetaCPAN profiles (aka. author pages) such as that of MANWAR. If I could also find their LinkedIn profile I invited them to connect via LinkedIn. (If I have not sent you an invitation yet, then I guess I missed your profile. I'd be glad to get a connect request via LinkedIn.)
I noticed that a large percentage of the people still have their @cpan.org email address listed. Despite the fact that cpan.org email forwarding has been shut down 6 weeks ago. That means people will get annoyed if hey try to contact you using that address.
You could replace that address or hide it and offer other ways for people to contact you. Either of them is better than having a bad address.
