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.
