Stuff with the Perl Foundation. A couple of patches in the Perl core. A few CPAN modules. That about sums it up.
The new perl.org is up!
perl.org actually looks modern now! This has been in the works for a while now and, as far as I know, Leo Lapworth was the principle designer. And no, this was not a result of the marketing committee. Just another great volunteer who wanted to make Perl not look dead

Update: Apparently, Foxtons is responsible for sponsoring this work. For those outside the UK: Foxtons, from what I understand, is one of the largest estate agents in the UK. Apparently, they got there by being very innovative and investing in a top-notch IT department. An IT department which, not surprisingly, uses a lot of Perl
I pour myself a cup of strong coffee. :-)

perl.com belongs to Tom Christiansen and he let's O'Reilly use it. We don't have any control over that. Maybe O'Reilly would let us do something with it, but it's potentially a valuable enough domain name that they might be loathe to do that.

That's up to Tom and whatever contract they have.
