Hi there! First of all I need to apologize. Last week we mistakenly included a link to a crypto scam. Clearly we have to be more careful with our inclusion policy. Thanks to the Pull-Request of Dave Cross the link was removed from our web site within a few hours. The strange thing is that the post is still up on Medium. I would have thought they would want to avoid having scams on their website. Last week Mohammad wrote that he keeps planning to be involved in the MetaCPAN project. As far as I remember it has two major part written in Perl. The back-end is indeed hard to setup, but I think the front-end is quite easy and that part is also written in Perl. I have a bunch of posts, some of them videos about MetaCPAN, including direction, how to contribute to it. I think it is also a very good feeling once your contribution is accepted and it goes live on the site. Besides, you get on the list of contributors Have a nice week! Gabor Szabo |
