## Oops! I made a mistake. Can you delete my module?

Requests to have modules removed from the CPAN should be directed at the PAUSE admins. Keep in mind that, if a module contains sensitive information, just deleting it from your CPAN directory is not enough, as it will still reside in the BackPAN.

If the PAUSE admins approve your request, have them CC noc@metacpan.org so that we can push the right buttons to have your work removed from MetaCPAN as well.

## Can I **manually** redirect links pointing at search.cpan.org to metacpan.org?

If you find yourself to be on search.cpan.org and you want to get redirected to corresponding metacpan page, just change the domain name with search.**m**cpan.org. For example:
