Welcome to the Perl WikiProject.

If you are programming in Perl, you may have noticed that the materials about Perl on Wikipedia are far from complete.

Keep in mind that if you help develop Wikipedia as a central repository of Perl know-how, you will have a Perl programming resource that you can refer back to whenever you need to. So instead of just keeping scattered notes on the various components and features of Perl on your computer desk, record your notes in the form of paragraphs in Wikipedia articles where you can easily find them later.

Where to begin

The most centralized place to start, to get a view of what Wikipedia has on the subject, is the Outline of Perl.

Goals

The goals of this project are to:

  1. Improve Wikipedia's coverage of Perl by expanding existing articles and creating new ones.
  2. Provide a place for editors to gather to collaborate on and coordinate the development of articles about Perl on Wikipedia.
  3. Provide a place for Perl programmers to compare notes on Perl resources helpful in using and developing Wikipedia, and for creating and sharing scripts for those purposes.
  4. Build a repository of Perl scripts for using or developing Wikipedia.

Perl script repository

Wikipedia's library of Perl scripts can be found at: Wikipedia:Scripts/Perl scripts
