The Future Looks Bright
For sometime there has been discussion that the corporate world needs to recognize its use of Perl and contribute to its continued development. I know there have been several corporate contributions in the past, but the majority of donations more recently has come from small companies and individuals, for whom the contributions have been a very notable amount. I'm not sure whether Firebird Management LLC would be classed as a corporate, but it would be wonderful to see others following their lead.
The Perl community is indebted to all those involved in the discussions, and I for one, am looking forward to seeing the fruits of this donation. Brilliant, just brilliant.

A generous as Google and others have been in the past, this is a momentous event for the Perl community.
I know many people work very hard on Perl (5.x and 6.x) but there is very little money backing it up and I hope that this donation helps to keep things moving and doesn't cause any problems like Debian's Dunc-tank.
