Some time ago metacpan had an option to create an account and then use<br>
it to alter your author meta data. Right now the website only lets you<br>
log in with Facebook/GitHub/Twitter/Google.<br>
<br>
I have found [0], which looks promising. However, the link at the bottom<br>
of the page ([1]) points to a very old commit, and I could not find an<br>
equivalent directory in master.<br>
<br>
Does this author-version.json method still work?<br>
If yes, can I download my current meta data in this format somehow?<br>
If not, how can I update my meta data without having to create an<br>
account at Facebook/Github/Twitter/Google/any other non-free service?<br>
