NVIDIA Donates $12,000 to The Perl and Raku Foundation

Furnished content.


The Perl and Raku Foundation (TPRF) is grateful to announce a gift of $12,000from NVIDIA in support of Perl and CPAN. Contributions like this one let uskeep maintaining the Perl 5 core and support our mission of keeping criticalinfrastructure alive.When you think of NVIDIA, you may think of GPUs and LLMs, so let’s highlight afew related projects with ties to the Perl and Raku communities.

Superpowers

The first project that springs to mind is Jesse Vincent’s Superpowers.
Superpowers is a complete software development methodology for your coding agents, built on top of a set of composable skills and some initial instructions that make sure your agent uses them.
While this is not written in Perl or Raku, Jesse was the Perl pumpking for versions 5.12 and 5.14 of the language. As his Wikipedia entry notes:
He changed the release cycle for Perl 5 from an irregular release done at theleisure of the project manager to a regular timeboxed release withdevelopment releases monthly and stable releases annually.
So the annual stable release cycle we now take for granted is largely thanks toJesse’s work.

PAAD

Ovid has been working on PAAD.
PAAD (rhymes with “pad”) is a set of skills for AI coding assistants. It reviews what the AI is about to work on the spec, the plan, the architecture, the code while you can still change it. That’s Pushback, Alignment, Architecture, plus the Discipline to actually run them.
Among other things, Ovid is the author of BeginningPerl. Youcan read more about Ovid in this perl.com interview by Mohammad SajidAnwar.

skilletor

Getty has been working on skilletor:
skilletor is a Claude Code and Codex plugin plus a standalone CLI. It installs skills, agents and rules from configured sources and keeps them up to date: it reconciles at session start, re-checks (throttled) during the session, pulls anything new, and tells the model what changed. Want shared skills? This is most likely the tool.
Getty has many Perl projects on the go, one of the more ambitious beingDBIO, a native relational mapper built on DBIand a modern successor to DBIx::Class.He also maintains Langertha:
Langertha provides a unified Perl interface for interacting with various Large Language Model (LLM) APIs. It abstracts away provider-specific differences, giving you a consistent API whether you’re using OpenAI, Anthropic Claude, Ollama, Groq, Mistral, or other providers.
More of Getty’s tools can be found at Getty/marketplace.

Thank you, NVIDIA

Once again, we’d like to thank NVIDIA for supporting Perl and CPAN. If yourorganization relies on these ecosystems, you can supportTPRF or budget engineering timefor the shared infrastructure you already depend on.

Announcing the Perl Toolchain Summit 2027

Furnished content.


Since the end of the Perl Toolchain Summit in Vienna, at the end ofApril, the organizers have been busy wrapping up 2026, and preparing for2027. One of our main goals for this year is to be ready long before2027 has even started.And so today we’re happy to announce that the 17th Perl ToolchainSummit will be held in Lyon, France, from Thursday April 29 till SundayMay 2, 2027.This post is brought to you by The Perl and Raku Foundation,a recurring Diamond sponsor of the Perl Toolchain Summit.The Perl & Raku Foundation logo


Started in 2008 as the Perl QA Hackathon in Oslo, the Perl ToolchainSummit is an annual event that brings together the key developersworking on the Perl toolchain. Each year (except for 2020-2022), theevent moves from country to country all over Europe, organized by localteams of volunteers. The surplus money from previous summits helps fundthe next one.Since 2023, the organizing team is formally split between a “global”team and a “local” team (although this setup has been informallyused before).Our global team is made up of veteran PTS organizers, who deal withinvitations, finding sponsors, paying bills and communications. They areLaurent Boivin (ELBEHO), PhilippeBruhat (BOOK), Thibault Duponchelle(CONTRA), and Breno de Oliveira(GARU), supported by Les Mongueursde Perl’s bank account.This year, the local team is just Philippe, who lives near Lyon.This will be the fourth Perl Toolchain Summit held in the city,meaning we already have all the local stuff very well in hand.We’ll return to our usual venue there, a hotel in front of the trainstation and across the street from the airport shuttle, which has hostedthe Summit in 2017 and 2023 (and one Sunday in 2014).The developers who maintain CPAN and associated tools and services areall volunteers, scattered across the globe. This event is the one timein the year when they can get together.The summit provides dedicated time to work on the critical systemsand tools, with all the right people in the same room. The attendeeshammer out solutions to thorny problems and discuss new ideas to keepthe toolchain moving forward. We’re still working on the attendees listat the moment, and we expect 30 to 35 people to join us in Lyon next year.Given the important nature of the attendees’ work and their volunteerstatus, we try to pay for most expenses (travel, lodging, food, etc.)through sponsorship. Another goal for this year is to break even (we’vebeen running the summit at a loss for the past few years, using up ourtreasure chest). If you’re interested in helping sponsor the summit,please get in touch with the global team atpts2027@perltoolchainsummit.org.The Perl and Raku Foundation has beensponsoring the Perl Toolchain Summit for several years now, either viadirect financial contributions, or by funding travel for some of ourattendees. We are very grateful for their continued support.
The Perl and Raku Foundation is delighted to once again support thePerl Toolchain Summit as a Diamond Sponsor. The Summit brings togetherthe dedicated people who build and maintain the tools and infrastructurethe Perl community relies on every day. TPRF is proud to help give thesecontributors the time and space to work together, solve problems, andstrengthen the ecosystem for everyone. The Foundation looks forward toanother productive and inspiring Perl Toolchain Summit in 2027.

The CPAN Security Group is also workingwith other packaging ecosystems to learn from their experiences fighting thesame battles. This is the kind of work that cannot be done solely byvolunteers. We would like to see it funded on an ongoing basis.Meanwhile, the ecosystem itself is growing. Comparing January to August 2026against the same period in2025,we can see significant growth in CPAN across multiple metrics. The first-timereleaser number is particularly encouraging. It’s great to see people decidingto publish on CPAN for the first time.

  • New distributions: 464 to 1,007, more than double
  • Uploads: 6,276 to 9,430, up 50% already past last year’s full-year total with four months to go
  • Distinct authors releasing: 489 to 546, up 12%
