{{DISPLAYTITLE:Category:Perl Guilds}}

This category contains pages related to '''Perl Guilds''': its purposes, essays, projects, guilds, and efforts to support independent Perl programmers in the practice of their trade.

Perl Guilds draws upon the traditional idea of craftsmen learning, traveling, mastering a trade, forming apprentices, preserving knowledge, and supporting one another through useful work.

Its purpose is not to impose a compulsory professional organization or restrict entry into programming. It seeks to encourage voluntary associations through which Perl programmers can:

* preserve and share practical knowledge;
* develop marketable specialties;
* form and encourage new programmers;
* cooperate on projects;
* serve users and communities;
* and earn a just and sustainable livelihood through their labor.

The Perl Lazarus Project and ''The Virtuous Perl Programmer'' essays are two expressions of this larger work.
