CPAN TESTERS FUND
CPAN Testers wouldn't exist without the help and support of the Perl community. However, since 2008 CPAN Testers has grown far beyond the expectations of it's original creators. As a consequence it now requires considerable funding to help support the infrastructure.
In early 2012 the Enlightened Perl Organisation very kindly set-up a CPAN Testers Fund within their donatation structure, to help the project cover the costs of servers and services.
If you would like to donate to the CPAN Testers Fund, please follow the link below to the Enlightened Perl Organisation's donation site.
