This article seems to be highly misinformed.

The Perl Foundation is not The Perl Community. Sebastian Riedel and Curtis Poe are still very much involved in the community and development of Perl. Elizabeth Mattijsen and Samantha McVey have not been involved in the Perl community for quite some time. Mattijsen is heavily involved in the Raku development and community, and likewise remains so after this resignation from TPF.

Sawyer X resigned from the Perl Steering Council, not TPF, and as such is the only one here that actually was related to the development of Perl. Regardless, Perl development continues apace under the newly redesigned governance described at https://perldoc.perl.org/perlgov, which has nothing to do with TPF.

My comment saying this on the article has now been downvoted enough to hide it. I guess they don't care about the article making actively false statements like "The Perl community is in a shambles due to disputes concerning its (nonexistent) Code of Conduct, its (inconsistent) enforcement of community standards, and an inability to agree on what constitutes toxicity or a proper response to it." and "At least five extremely senior Perl community members have resigned from their positions and/or withdrawn from working on Perl itself"

The article has now been updated to correctly indicate that other than Sawyer, these events are specifically regarding TPF and not the community as a whole. Thanks to the author for clarifying things.
