Ah, missed this reply. The BIOPERLML is apparently a mailing list ID: https://pause.perl.org/pause/authenquery?ACTION=show_ml_repr According to the PAUSE page on this, there isn’t an associated password with this. The original Bioperl developers had set this up ages ago for allowing co-maintainers. chris
