Who are the porters?

0

The porters are the group of volunteers who develop Perl 5, working on any aspect of Perl, including code, testing, and documentation. There is no formal membership and anyone can participate, working as much as they desire and contributing what they can. Initially, the name signified the group of people who ported the Perl 5 codebase to new platforms. The name has stuck around despite Perl taking over almost every platform people care to run it on.
