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.

The [https://github.com/Perl/perl5/issues Perl Bug Tracker] and the [https://rt.perl.org/ Perl Request Tracker] (RT) are the places to go to check if the anomaly you have encountered has already been recorded as a Perl or Perl module bug and, if not, you can lodge a bug report (see [[How do I create a bug report]]) so that it can be fixed. Even better, lodge a patch if you can (see [[Creating A Patch]]) with the bug report.
