- This reminds me of something I've been meaning to bring up for a
- while. Why don't we put together a Perl service directory, listing
- individuals and companies who are willing to support Perl, free or for
- a fee, like the etc/SERVICE file in the Emacs distribution? This
- strikes me as a good way to add credibility for the benefit of people
- like Bob mentions above, as well as a nice way for some of us to earn
- a little extra income.
-
- If anyone is interested in maintaining such a file, please speak up.
- If no one offers to do it within a week or so, I'll offer to do it
- myself, if the consensus is that it's a good idea.
