Dear all,

    I received this mail today.  Is this real?  Or is it another
phishing?

Dear CPAN author,

This email is being sent to inform you that all passwords on the popular
Perl Monks website were compromised.  Many CPAN authors have accounts
there and in some cases have used the same password for PAUSE.

If you have any reason to suspect that your PAUSE account password 
is no longer secure, please visit https://pause.cpan.org/ and change it.

If your PAUSE account is not affected, please disregard this message and
accept apologies for the unsolicited email.

Regards,
PAUSE Administrators
