AFAIK the perl group is not meant as a community development platform (most
obviously perl/perl is only a mirror), but more as communication to the
outside world The Perl Toolchain gang is quite functional at what it's
trying to do, but I don't think think that enlarging that umbrella is a
good idea organizationally. I do think it may be a good idea to have an
organization for non-toolchain dual-life modules (in fact, I just took the
liberty of creating exactly such an organization).
