Thanks Fastly!

We've fallen out of the habit of regularly thanking the companies that sponsor us.  (We appreciate all of you!)

Today, we're thankful for Fastly, whose CDN helps keep perl.org and cpan.org fast and available no matter where in the world you are.  We've been using them for more years than we can remember, and it's been a great experience since the beginning.  Three years ago, we deprecated the cpan.org mirror network and moved all CPAN module serving to Fastly.  This has been a vast simplification of our infrastructure, and a better experience for users.

Also today, Fastly is announcing a free tier for developers.  (They asked us to let you know.   It's the least we can do to thank them for all they've given us.)  Visit http://fastly.com/pricing for details.

@cpan.org email deliverability issues

We've come across some snags with emails sent to @cpan.org addresses since switching our forwarding system. Delays and bounces are happening more often than usual.

While we understand this is inconvenient, addressing this issue will require significant technical adjustments. As a result, we are unable to offer a specific timeframe for a resolution at this time.

Bottom line: if an receiving an email is urgent or crucial, don't use @cpan.org. For important emails, opt for using another address with better deliverability.
