While there are a number of Perl organizations, they are all either
limited to specific locales such as Perl Mongers, or
self-appointed top-down hierarchies with no community voting involvement.
Our solution is to empower the Perl community by creating multiple new
project-oriented industry workgroups.
Each of our Perl committees is governed by democratically-elected leadership,
and all major decisions are decided by the vote of committee members.
Committee meetings have openly-available agendas and minutes
for the public record.
Perl community members are invited to apply for membership in any or all committees.
Meetings are held every other Thursday from 1:00pm to 3:00pm central time zone.
Hackathons are held the Wednesday night before each meeting from 7:00pm to 9:00pm central time zone (unless otherwise stated).
The goal is to have major ongoing Perl accomplishments by our committees.

PERL::TYPES COMMITTEE
Perl's Data Type System
Most modern computer languages provide a native data type system.
Perl has an internal type system which was never made available to programmers.
The goal is to expose Perl's internal types as a
flexible and high-performance type system.
