不然您可以購買使用支援的契約。雖然 Cygnus在過去曾提供這項(xiàng)服務(wù)，他們現(xiàn)在已不再出售 Perl的支援合約了。取而代之、填補(bǔ)這個空檔的是 the Paul Ingram Group 為此專設(shè)的 The Perl Clinic。以下是一則他們的廣告：【未翻】
``Do you need professional support for Perl and/or Oraperl? Do you need a support contract with defined levels of service? Do you want to pay only for what you need?''
``The Paul Ingram Group has provided quality software development and support services to some of the world's largest corporations for ten years. We are now offering the same quality support services for Perl at The Perl Clinic. This service is led by Tim Bunce, an active perl porter since 1994 and well known as the author and maintainer of the DBI, DBD::Oracle, and Oraperl modules and author/co-maintainer of The Perl 5 Module List. We also offer Oracle users support for Perl5 Oraperl and related modules (which Oracle is planning to ship as part of Oracle Web Server 3). 20% of the profit from our Perl support work will be donated to The Perl Institute.''
perl.org 是 Perl Institute 的正式傳播媒介。TPI (The Perl Institute)的座右銘是「幫助他人幫 Perl助人」（或差不多這個意思）。這是一個非營利性的組織，主旨在支援 perl的發(fā)展、文獻(xiàn)，和傳播。目前 TPI 的領(lǐng)導(dǎo)人包括了 Larry Wall 、 Tom Christiansen，和 Randal Schwartz，這些名字或許您曾在這篇文章的其他地方見過。
