Looking for Crypt::RIPEMD160 Author

I tried to contact the Crypt::RIPEMD160 author today, as well as a bunch of people listed in the README, etc. 5 of the 8 emails bounced immediately. There's a 64bit bug in the module that is causing issues with Crypt::OpenPGP.

Their name is Christian H. Geuer-Pollmann or CHGEUER in pause. If anyone knows how to contact them, I'd like to help fix some of the bugs in this module

  1. If you can't contact any of the authors after several attempts, you can try contacting a CPAN/PAUSE admin who should be able to give you the necessary permissions to upload a fixed version.

  2. nilsonsfj: part of the process is to publicly post you're looking for them.

  3. Please try again. There were major DNS problems with .de domains yesterday afternoon and many e-mails bounced.

  4. I am Christian Geuer-Pollmann, you can reach me via blogs.msdn.com/chgeuer. The main problem is that I canoot recover my PAUSE credentials because my 2003 university e-mail address doesn't exist any longer.

  5. Christian, I've since gained permissions to the module and done a release for this module, but I emailed you today about how to get your PAUSE access back and optionally ownership of the module.
