perlmodstyle: point people to PrePAN, not modules list
This harmonizes perlmodstyle with the guidance on PAUSE for getting feedback. Having new authors email modules@perl.org is not a good use of PAUSE admin time.

+=head2 Get feedback before publishing
+
+If you have never uploaded a module to CPAN before (and even if you have),
+you are strongly encouraged to get feedback on L<PrePAN|http://prepan.org>.
+PrePAN is a site dedicated to discussing ideas for CPAN modules with other
+Perl developers and is a great resource for new (and experienced) Perl
+developers.

+You should also try to get feedback from people who are already familiar
+with the module's application domain and the CPAN naming system. Authors
+of similar modules, or modules with similar names, may be a good place to
+start, as are community sites like L<Perl Monks|http://www.perlmonks.org>.
