Fwd: [perl #99212] Breech of personal information on CPAN

FYI.  Another case of files needing to be purged from PAUSE/CPAN/BackPAN.

I'm not sure whether there should be a process for confirming
"takedowns" or not.

Graham,

I really appreciate your help; I've found a few more copies of the
file(s) that need to be removed:

http://cpansearch.perl.org/src/LEOCHARRE/PDF-OCR2-1.10/t/problemdocs/problemdyerfile.pdf

http://cpansearch.perl.org/src/LEOCHARRE/PDF-OCR2-1.09/t/leodocs/tuition.pdf

http://cpansearch.perl.org/src/LEOCHARRE/PDF-OCR2-1.19/t/leodocs/tuition.pdf

I cannot thank you enough for helping us get this stuff taken care of.
