The goal of this Wiki is to collect and store the knowledge necessary for the productive use of Perl and [[related projects]]. The Wiki is intended to be a first port of call for users looking for information both free and paid tools that may be used by Perl programmers looking to carve out an independant living. This wiki was inspired by [https://wiki.freepascal.org/ FreePascal's Wiki]. Their user community also seems to be very positive and support of independant software makers. Much of this main page has taken direct inspiration from it. No forum is planned, there are also plenty of ways Perl community members may interact.
=== Welcome to the Perl Guilds Wiki ===
The '''Perl Guilds''' wiki is a community-driven resource designed to support '''freelance Perl programmers''' and help them thrive in their independent careers. The original wiki concept was inspired by [https://wiki.freepascal.org FreePascal]'s community wiki. This wiki is maintained by [[ServiceProviders|'''these people''']], you may thank them for this resource by hiring them for something.


This wiki is maintained by Brett Estrade ([https://metacpan.org/author/OODLER OODLER]) &lt;<a href=mailto:brett.estrade@gmail.com>brett.estrade@gmail.com</a>&gt;; an idependant Perl contractor of Houston, Texas. If you found this page looking for a contract Perl programmer, you may reach him for a quote [https://brett.acutisdate.com here].
=== Transforming Perl by Striving for Virtue ===
The infamous 3 "virtues" of a Perl programmer are not what you've been lead to believe. They are bad, very bad. Please [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mEWfo9U3uTM view] to learn more about the [[The Real 3 Virtues of Perl|'''true virtues of Perl''']]: '''''Prudence''''', '''''Spiritedness''''', & '''''Good Order'''''! I hope to convey these ideals through this resource, and I hope you can help me.
