I'm the author of several Perl books, many Perl modules (all on GitHub!), and an editor on Perl.com. I write quite a bit about Perl on The Effective Perler and a few other blogs, all of which you can read for free. Any support I get gives me more time to work on open source and to help other people work on open source.

Select a tier

$ a month

Choose a custom amount.

$1 a month

Select

The basic level. You think I give you about $12 of value a year through whatever modules or articles you like.

$7 a month

Select

A bit more generous. Whatever I'm doing is worth $84 a year to you. This helps me spend more time thinking about and writing about new Perl features.

$20 a month

Select

You want to cover my GitHub monthly bill. Can't say no to that. Perhaps you have a particular module you'd like me to work on.

$200 a month

Select

You'd like to pick something for me to write about each month. It has to be something I can write about in a reasonable amount of time and within my competencies. Or, maybe there are some GitHub issues in Perl modules you'd like me to work on.

$500 a month

Select

I'd really like to spend a lot more time working on the core Perl documentation. Free up some of my time so I can do that. Perhaps you can suggest what parts you'd like me to work on next.

$6,000 a month

Select

This is the maximum amount GitHub Sponsors allows. If you just can't get rid of your money fast enough, I guess I can help with that. Perhaps you need some Perl training? Free books? Some programming done? Code review? If you're sponsoring me for this much, I'll also mow your lawn (not really, I'll pay some kid to do it).
