by Olaf Alders (OALDERS)

The CPAN web portals, search.cpan.org and metacpan, are incredibly important for our day-to-day work, and it's easy to forget that their continued existence is usually fueled by the unrelentless dedication of a few volunteers and a budget that would make shoe strings seem opulent.
