How to become a CPAN contributor
To become a CPAN contributor, you don’t need to write a new CPAN distribution, you just need to submit a change to an existing distribution that gets accepted by the author.
If you’ve never gotten your hands dirty editing Perl modules, the first question that may come to mind is: “Do I know enough to contribute to other people’s code?”. Well in my experience, you don’t have to be an expert to become a contributor. There are plenty of opportunities out there suitable for beginner-level Perl programmers.
