Stuff with the Perl Foundation. A couple of patches in the Perl core. A few CPAN modules. That about sums it up.

Woo hoo! Just submitted my first patch to p5p. It appears that shellwords.pl was untainting data from STDIN. Whoops! I also discovered the same problem in Text::ParseWords and tried to email a patch to the author, only to find out that his email is inactive. Humph!
Update: I also submitted a patch for Text::ParseWords and am pleased to announce that both patches will be in 5.8.0

Nothing too major, but still fun! Be sure to keep looking for other places to contribute also!
My first patch (Score:2)
My first patch (and my only one so far) was the patch that makes sure you can type perl5.6.1 Makefile.PL and it will definitely pick up /path/to/perl5.6.1 instead of /different/path/to/earlier/perl. Believe it or not, with 5.6.0 and earlier, you could do perl5.6.0 Makefile.PL but when you went on to do make && make install you would pick up whatever perl was first in (your PATH + some other dirs), regardless of version or even name. The only way to guarantee the module built with the Perl you want
