A few months ago there was this discussion on HN - Why is Funding Perl Core Development So Difficult? (http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=3247925 http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=3247925). Unfortunately Perl doesn't have a Sugar Daddy :( However it does have a few benevolent Uncles :) Here's the breakdown of the last 12 months contributions... $10,000 Jun 2011 Vienna.pm $10,000 Jul 2011 Booking.com $10,000 Jul 2011 cPanel €100,000 Jan 2012 Booking.com $100,000 Jan 2012 Craigslist ref: Figures by trawling TPF website. Hopefully I have this correct! http://news.perlfoundation.org/2011/06/viennapm-donates-up-to-10000.html http://news.perlfoundation.org/2011/06/viennapm-donates-up-t... | http://news.perlfoundation.org/2011/07/bookingcom-sponsor-p5cmf.html http://news.perlfoundation.org/2011/07/bookingcom-sponsor-p5... | http://news.perlfoundation.org/2011/07/cpanel-sponsor-p5cmf.html http://news.perlfoundation.org/2011/07/cpanel-sponsor-p5cmf.... | http://news.perlfoundation.org/2012/01/bookingcom-sponsors-100000-to.html http://news.perlfoundation.org/2012/01/bookingcom-sponsors-1... | http://news.perlfoundation.org/2012/01/craigslist-charitable-fund-don.html http://news.perlfoundation.org/2012/01/craigslist-charitable...

Hard to find, unfortunately, but NET-A-PORTER (disclaimer: I work there) also donated $10,000. As well as LOVEFiLM, Oslo.pm, and Dijkmat donating various amounts. Source: http://www.perlfoundation.org/previous_homepage_news http://www.perlfoundation.org/previous_homepage_news

Booking.com contributed €100k, not $100k. €100k =~ $130k. So the total for the last 12 months is around $260k, not $230k.

That earlier discussion is part of what sparked this (craigslist) donation, FWIW. (I work there)

  It's great to know something good came out of that discussion despite the silly trolling that blemished parts of it.
