GitTip profile of the week
GitTip allows you to give a regular weekly monetary gift to people in order
  to encourage them to do more of the awesome stuff they have been doing.
  The gifts can be as low as 1 cent a week. In this section every week you
  will see a different Perl developer we recommend you support. Oh, and the
  Perl Weekly itself also has a GitTip account

  available for free, and the raw source of the book
  ('https://github.com/chromatic/modern_perl_book') itself is available on
