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.

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 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!
