Nice to see the thread gravitate back towards advocacy. I'm still trying
to dispel the image of Ilya in a bathing suit :-)
Perhaps what we can do in lieu of cloning ActiveState is provide a clearing
house for Perl consultancies, one-stop shopping for companies looking for
help with Perl. Maybe a portal with links to all training, development,
maintenance, etc businesses for Perl... but perhaps I run away with
myself. Doesn't need to be that elaborate.
Hmm. Could be a job for use.perl.org?
