  • I have to back you up on the point that it's easy to contribute.

    I subscribed to p5p six months ago and already several dozens of my patches were applied into the core. Moreover, and more amazingly, I'm beginning to understand how the core works!-) I have to thank in the first place Simon for writing the papers and tutorials that made me realize that it was possible for me to go for developing Perl. (In the second place, thanks to everyone for being so nice.)

    Publicizing the work done by the Perl 5|6 developers, and stressing the fact that it's possible to learn and to help with some good will, is rather important to drive new people to this area -- and to improve Perl.

    (And about zipped modules, watch for Nicholas Clark's ex::lib::zip.)

    • Damn straight it's easy to contribute. That nut Jarkko has even accepted 3 patches from me! What the hell is he thinking?!

      ;)

      • He wants to get 5.8 done ...preferrably before the frost forms on the gates of hell. :)
