The craigslist foundation donated a $ 100,000 Perl programming language
From me: firstly, I did not know that craigslist works on Perl (which I am passionate about at the moment). Secondly, such a big and important donation for the benefit of everything and everyone motivated me to “give tribute” to craigslist, spreading this news. I hope you all will be interested. PS I do not have the experience of a translator. I am a developer. Therefore, I ask you to be a little easier with the criticism of the translation.
The Perl Foundation is proud to announce that craigslist has supported the Perl community by making a donation of $ 100,000 to support Perl5, which can also be used for the general purposes of the Perl Foundation.
According to craigslist CEO and former Perl hacker Jim Backmaster: “craigslist has gained a lot of popularity, while most of its software has been developed in Perl for more than ten years. The craigslist foundation proudly recognizes the magic and generosity of the entire Perl community, and is therefore ready to guarantee further support for Perl5, contributing to the future development of Perl. ” He also added: “At first it was not clear how and what could be best given in return for Perl. Fortunately, there were several ways to do this. ”

Karen Poulie, President of the Perl Foundation, said: “I am overly grateful to craigslist Charitable Foundation for their incredibly generous donation. What a fantastic way for the Perl Foundation to start 2012! ”

craigslist became omnipresent, thanks to the idea of ​​finding everything that might come to mind that later passed from the public consciousness to the media. In season 4 of the Big Bang Theory "Prestidigitation Approximation", Sheldon says:
“And this is my card? Heck! I wonder if Howard used the radioactive device for surveillance. Where should I find uranium-235 now at this time of night? By the way, there is Craigslist. ” ( Source )
This is just one of the many appearances of craigslist on television and in movies, which creates an overall picture of where craigslist is in the minds of the people.
